I don’t know if President Trump has acknowledged he did not win in 2020 or just that he was denied election due to fraud (cheating).
Amendment XXII of the U S Constitution provides that no person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice ….. This provision does not consider the length of time served, just the number of times elected. If it was legally established that he was actually elected in the 2020 election, he would be ineligible to run in the current election.
The Democrat party tried to deny Robert Kennedy a spot on the ballot when he was an active candidate and then tried to deny him the right to withdraw when he endorsed President Trump. If Trump makes a plausible case that he actually won in 2020 they could adopt this model and agree that he won on 2020 and petition Congress to withdraw the certification for Biden and Certify Trump as the winner. That would be his second election victory and he would instantly be constitutionally ineligible for election this year as that would be his third time being elected. Of course, according to Amendment XX he could only serve until noon on January 20, 2025. Keep in mind that the new Congress takes office on January 3, 2025 so conceivable the democrats could be in charge of both houses of Congress.
Nice fantasy, but there is a small little thing you are forgetting here:

You are forgetting that if this actually were to happen, the military would then be able to step in publicly and round up every single person connected to 2020 - including the media. There is no "they" who would expose themselves like that.
I try to keep my fantasies within the confines of the Constitution. I don't think what I offered as a possibility is going to happen but I simply offered the thought as a caution to "be careful what we ask for as we may get it".
I firmly believe that no one in our current government is really calling the shots and those who are really in charge would not hesitate to sacrifice any and all of them if necessary. I am confident that a solution can be found but hope that if military assistance is required it does not devolve into military control. History tells us that once civilian control is lost, it is very difficult to regain.

Sorry to say this, but its already at this point.
