Ah, good catch. I’d forgotten about that. Apparently the 12th Amendment should narrow that loophole significantly:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Honestly, the whole insurrection thing should disqualify him anyway, but again they’d probably argue that he’s not ineligible for the office of President, he just can’t be elected to it due to the 22nd Amendment.

no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

Unfortunately, there’s an obvious loophole right there that they will argue for. The 22nd Amendment doesn’t say that Trump can’t be VP and take over as President on Day One. It just restricts how many times he can be elected as the President. He could theoretically run as VP and have an enabler run as President an indefinite number of times - there are no limits to the number of times somebody can be elected as VP: https://www.factcheck.org/2008/04/vp-term-limits/

I believe the term is “airship” (blimps have no frame/internal structure). Can we toss the Nazis out of them instead?

He’s really leaning into the villain trope. So many sci-fi villains claim that empathy and/or compassion are weaknesses. Their lack of it is usually their undoing.
