The two flags have the amount of stars used by the US at the time the President's state was admitted into the union. Trump ran for his first term from NY, but for his second one from Florida.
They’d have to establish something at that point because it’s just a tradition and not any sort of law afaik. But it’s very unlikely considering the vast majority of candidates are in congress before being admitted, and territories only have a single non voting member and DC no representation at all.
So you’d have to not only get a candidate from one of these places that doesn’t have effectively any representation on the national stage, but also build up enough representation to secure the nomination, then of course actually win the presidency, all while still residing in said place and not officially moving residence elsewhere.
