Trump cannot serve anywhere in the line of presidential succession, because he can’t be eligible to rise to a role he is Constitutionally incapable of accepting.
A former president who has served two terms is only barred from becoming the vice president. They could otherwise hold any other position in the line of presidential succession, and would be passed over if something happened to everyone in front of them. Same thing applies to the other conditions for being president such as a natural born citizen, 35 years of age, etc.
Let’s say that he won’t run for a third term.
JD Vance becomes POTUS.
Trump wouldn’t accept being VP.
What position can he take within a cabinet, assuming that no one prosecutes him and throws him in a cell where he belongs?

Why would he? He had zero interest in politics. He just likes being president because it’s the top job. Anything less than that is worthless to him.
