I think a plausible interpretation is that he won’t be on the ballot in four years, and therefore he doesn’t give a shit if they vote then or not. He is an incoherent mess but this kind of “joke” fits with other nonsense he has said.
I'm not convinced he's fully aware of his own age/mortality, the plain text of the US constitution, or the fact that nothing in politics is permanent. I mean, there's a decent chance he lives in that little kid mental space where anything that happens later than "tomorrow" is equidistant in time.
What he wants from the voters is their vote now, and selling someone something "now" is usually more successful if you can promise you won't come back later asking for more. I bet he sold his "university" the same way - buy this course and your career goals are a lock.
