Or Trump keeps extending it or the newly formed Congress rolls back the law or the corrupt Supreme Court changes its mind or or or.

Tomorrow Trump becomes the commander in cheif of the executive branch, the branch explicitly in charge of enforcing the law. The concept of salutary neglect is not new to America, and I don't think much could stop him if he decided to simply not enforce the law as written. As you point out, it would not be the first time the country played by it's own rules made up on the spot.
