Going over the language of the 22nd amendment.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,

Trump is is not running to be elected to the office of the President this time.

and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

This is immaterial. Hegseth resigns and Trump is sworn in. He just can't run in 2032. In this case, Trump is not being elected to the Presidency.
