You're making a lot of assumptions. That Donald Trump is going to be in office to run for reelection. That changing the Constitution is so easily accomplished. That women of any political persuasion are going to let that happen. That men who aren't childish, women hating little boys will let it happen. That Donald Trump is great...
I'm pretty sure that while he might be crazy enough to commit that level of stupid, it's not the kind of thing that he'd do on purpose. I added the qualifier "on purpose" because he'll sign pretty much anything you put in front of him. But stripping women of the vote really doesn't seem like something he'd go for.
Now I can see Pence *wanting* to try it, but unless there's very considerable political support, he wouldn't actually do so. He's not crazy like Trump.
In order to repeal any amendment, you need either a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress (not likely, especially for something as extremist as undoing the last century) or a Convention of States called by 2/3 of the state legislatures. Technically, the Republicans are doing very well at the state level right now, and a few elections could give them the ability to call a Convention of States. But I doubt they would repeal the 19th Amendment. They know it would be political suicide. Besides, Trump didn't win because of people on the Internet fantasizing about the Republic of Gilead. He won because Clinton had a complete lack of charisma and very little support in the Midwest. Every other region of the country voted the way it always does.
Kay, wanna give Canada all these educated, awsome, productive, emphatic refugees? Cause if you don`t close your borders what`s to stop all the females from litreally just making a step up?

No, amendments to the constitution are the one thing the Supreme Court can't overturn. It's hard for something to be unconstitutional if it's explicitly allowed in said constitution. You'd need another amendment, such as the 21st amendment specifically repealing the 18th amendment.
What worries me is that some of these idiots may feel empowered enough to actually try and pull this off, and some women may agree with them.
Repealing the Nineteenth Amendment wasn't in Trump's program and, even if he wanted, no state would willingly sign up.

There's inadmissible amendments: affecting the equal representation of states in the Senate without their own consent is banned and, before 1808, any amendment affecting the foreign slave trade, the tax on the slave trade or the direct taxation provisions of the Constitution.
Donald Fart has infinitely more important things on his mind - apart from that poor dead animal on such - than any 'repealments'.
So you don't want women involved in politics? Okay:

So you want Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister of Britain: thus completing the triumvirate of ultimate FAIL of you rightists: your 'Emprah' indicted, thus he being Physically Removed from the White House; he taking that final trip on Marine One. Le Makron destroying Navy La Penis (another woman: a rightist too, shock-horror!), and a left -wing PM that your Cheeto Mussolini is going to have to work with in the remainder of his adminifrustration , amirite...?! [/Special Relationship]
Better pray that he does a Nixon, and resigns , then. [/Watergate]
You've got one helluva long wait.
Besides, the Orange Emperor may not last his first year if the (Russian) shit doesn't stop hitting the fan.
Confused?
