I think any large protest would encounter Trumper counter-protesters of armed Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, et al, who would initiate violence. Trump would blame the violence on the protesters and use the violence as an excuse to declare a national emergency (hell, he might even try for "marshall" (sic) law). It would likely just expedite his consolidation of power. I suspect Trump keeps issuing more and more outlandish declarations hoping to ignite some large protests, which is just the next step in his plan to suspend all laws he thinks are in his way.
