I wouldn’t imagine it’ll even work for longer than an election cycle or two; Trump is pretty old and hasn’t taken as good care of himself as he could (though admittedly he is rich and therefore has access to good healthcare), so if one goes too long, he won’t be around to run and so anyone voting to avoid him specifically won’t have that motivation, and even if he lives a long a healthy enough life to keep running for some time to come, if he loses a couple more elections and continues to turn the people against him he may begin to fade from political relevance (he’s got his dedicated supporters, sure, but if he’s not gaining new ones those will become a shrinking fraction of the electorate). Finally, if Trump wins another election, then either he successfully dismantles or controls the election system, making the issue moot, or he does not, and is therefore ineligible to run again after that term.
There’s the potential that whatever republican replaces Trump gets people similarly upset at them to use the same strategy, but relying on Trump himself to drive people to vote against him won’t be viable for long whatever happens.
