Your question describes a hypothetical scenario where the President has "complete illicit control" over all branches of government, the Supreme Court, the military, and most federal and state courts.
And the point being? I mean, we know we’re on the bring of the collapse of our laws, norms and democracy itself. The only remaining questions are just how and just when will the process complete itself, if unchecked, and What Can We DO, most powerfully, right now, to stop it?
In a truly functioning democracy … democracy in the US left long ago. Trump is now a dictator with California his only challenge. He will declare Marshal Law and march the marines and his own personal Geheime Staatspolizei into LA to seize power and arrest Newsom.
No Trump can't cancel the elections

tRump will declare a national emergency and cancel the election.

Already happened in Florida, the bleeding hemorrhoid state of America.
No, but he will do it anyway.
Perhaps, but we the people can fight that!!
Yes we will
