They would [18 U.S. Code § 871], without a second thought.

I mean dueling was still legal back then so that would be my guess for a way to handle this.

Presidential term limited were not set by the founders. They were instituted after FDR served 3+ terms and then died early in his fourth. Sorry if you already knew this.

What would people 15 years ago say or do when asked generically about a president who committed an insurrection, calls himself a king and declares his intention to serve beyond two terms. What protections and courtesies would they say such a man was entitled to?

the founders put no limit on the president's maximum service time, so there's no originalist objection to trump seeking a third term.

Madison would have strangled the man with his own hands by now

Recognize they put too much power in trusting an executive to have some level of honor.

Hahaha. So busy building himself up he is clueless to reality. My only hope is that he is stopped soon. There has never been this level of obvious lawless behavior in my lifetime. The cruelty is undeniable.
