The only thing that may stop him would be a criminal conviction or a serious health issue. I am not sure that a criminal conviction would prevent him running, unless the conviction was for treason (like that will happen...). Nothing prevents a person from running for President from prison. When he runs, the Republicans will have to back him unless they want to see half of their party abandon them. The Republicans created the monster and now they can not easily divorce themselves from it. Republicans best hopes to get rid of Trump is for him to die. What would be even better is for him to die and blame his death on Democrats.
