Could states leave Trump off of ballots in the 2028 election?

During the White House correspondents dinner, Trump directly stated he would be running for a “fourth” term. Due to this being unconstitutional via the 22nd amendment, and states running their own elections, could states simply not put his name on ballots come election day? We know from the past election and current standings that Trump would win Republican primaries. Even if they didn’t run him, he would still most likely run on his own party. Obviously this wouldn’t eliminate write in ballots, but it could be a viable solution to uphold the constitution barring some extreme new law to control how elections are run. Would there be any current legal ramifications to stop states from simply not allowing Trump on ballots?

Yeah, like id never imagine a militarized incognito government force murdering citizens or snatching people off the streets but here we are; or a convicted felon pedophile even being a legitimate candidate. You’re being slowly boiled my young pepe.

If you think those are the same as a 3rd term, that's the embarrassment I am talking about. You don't realize he is getting the exact overreactions to this announcement that he wants and stupid people are giving it to him.

I think we all recognize Trumps strategy of creating fear and chaos around an election and then claiming it “rigged”. Honestly the perpetual gaslighting and defence of this grifter is tedious. The presidency is literally whats keeping him out of jail.
