The part about Trump wanting to become a dictator is nonsense, but the idea of him running as a 3rd party candidate is entirely plausible given the divide among the GOP right now. Just for the sake of speculation, my money is on DeSantis being the Republican candidate because the party establishment will back him over Trump. That being the case, DeSantis would also be the winner of a 3-way election in the House, since the state delegates would probably back the less controversial candidate rather than create a split that would allow another 4 years of socialist Democrat control of the executive branch.
But taking a step back, I still don't think Trump will run in spite of his continued popularity among a large segment of Republicans. His children will talk him out of it. He'll be 78 years old, carries too much baggage, and his election would create too much turmoil in a nation that will be sickened by four years of misery and mismanagement by Joe Biden. The smart move would be for him to make a deal with DeSantis for his support and play the role of king maker in the Republican Party.
