You're misunderstanding gender dysphoria - dysphoria means dissatisfaction/unease.
It's the dysphoria part, the stress associated with the gender mismatch/societal rejection etc that is the medical condition. Not the gender mismatch itself.

Point is though that it’s an attempt to disregard their constitution and break what’s been done by every president before him to only serve 2 terms

As long as he attempts to change the constitution legitimately there's no problem. I personally like 2 terms, I doubt he will get the numbers to win a third. I guess the concern is whether he will totally disregard the constitution and turn the US into a dictatorship..... which hasn't happened.

Do you think that's a possibility?

Only a very tiny possibility (at this time). Many Americans see the constitution as their second Bible. To go against the constitution at this stage and getting the majority of Americans to support it would not fly, but if he can make somethings go well and grow his base I think the chances could grow. It has obviously been an unorthodox approach to the presidency with many detractors but also many have embraced it as swell.

I think the ineteresting and major factor is going to be his engagement with the Church. He is being called the second Constantine. Constantine basically halted Christian persecution, made it legal and united the Roman Empire using religion as a rallying point.

I saw Steve Bannon saying they're planning a third Trump term, declined to elaborate on how they'll pull it off but he thinks it'll happen.

I don't doubt some will have a plan. He has mentioned it too, just not definitive yet. I sometimes stop and wonder what happens to those in the admin after 4 years? There's no doubt there will be motivation to have his reign extended but I don't think he will be mentally fit to continue then.
 
So, Trump has announced today is Liberation Day and this shown off a chart which he claims shows how America has been "unfairly" treated by tariffs including that NZ has a 20% tariff on goods imported from the US but says we should be thankful that he's only putting a 10% tariff on goods from here..... a huge Trump like fabrication. The average tariff on American goods imported into NZ is 1.5% and most goods from the US come in tariff fee.... it's so-called luxury items such as HD motorcycles and Levi's jeans which are tariffed.

So where does Trump and his administration get the 20%? Because, like most countries, we have a value added tax (in NZ's case, GST) on not just imported goods but also domestically produced goods. Plus, a number of states within the US also have consumption taxes in the form of sales taxes on goods sold. The other things they considered in coming to the "tariff" percentage is digital services taxes, subsidies, carbon border adjustment mechanisms, exchange rate policies, and other non-tariff barriers to trade.
