So if Trump wins, he can follow the Dems promise and do it himself?

Is this how it works?

Either that or make a law with no more justices than the current number

I guess my question would be is there a way to make it where there can never be more than 9 SC justices?

Congress would have to write a new law to authorize it so Republicans would also need to regain the House.

Constitutional amendment.

Can only be undone with another amendment repealing it.

Can also I imagine be done as a regular law but that can be repealed far easier.

But that would only bind the Democrats until they eventually got power and just made a new law, getting rid of the old.

Pack it with Recess Appointments. Watch the Democrats chew their arms off.

This is probably the biggest need for a constitutional amendment today.

But here is the danger, Dems want power above all else and have shown will do anything even if unethical, illegal, bad for the country, bad for citizens, evil. I am sure they have researched every way to change America, laws, policies, etc. to put them back in power and Keep them in power hence adding to the Supreme court. But once they do that, they will create laws to keep themselves in power no matter how wrong it is.
