Well, not without enough support from congress + senate. While Trump might not have the power for that initially, they can just use an administrative state packed with Trump loyalists to attack democrats.

At first thought, this was a crazy idea, but I did a little looking.

It turns out that Article Four Section 4 of the United States Constitution requires Congress to ensure that every state has a Republican form of government.
