Antonin Scalia's most fervent wish before he died was that Trump would serve at least three terms.

No. 22nd Amendment.
Scalia’s opinion on Trump, who became President after he died, was “it was most refreshing to have a candidate who was pretty much unfiltered and utterly frank”, according to a friend, Bryan Garner. That doesn’t mean he would have approved of Trump’s actions or even that he wanted Trump as President at all, given that there were still other Republicans in the running at the time of his death.
Speaking of Trump; if he dies of Covid-19, will there come conspiracy theories that he never caught the virus, he was never sick, he just faked his illness and death because he’d gotten fed up with being president?
Scalia didn’t live long enough to see Trump’s (first and hopefully only) term, so couldn’t judge him, especially when other conservatives were running at the Republican primary.
And moreover, the personal wishes of a SCOTUS Justice can’t trump Constitution.

Scalia didn't even know Trump would be president when he died. Was Trump even the Nominee when he died?
He wasn’t. For the record, Scalia died February 13, Trump was nominated July 19, and was elected November 8.
Putting words in the mouth of dead man, are we? That might not work out well, for you, if he decides to come back and call you out on it.
Confused?
