At most, the date could be altered if both houses pass a bill, but only up until December 31st, 2028. The states administer elections, and they aren't going to withhold elections because Trump says. Some might, though that would only serve to disenfranchise the entire electorate within their state, as they'll have no votes towards the election. This scenario likely leads to civil war and is very unlikely. State politicians want stability because it lines their pockets.

Well on paper yes, but who’s gonna enforce it? Saying it unfortunately doesn’t make it so
