Most politics is not top down from the president. If Trump would care about repealing the act he could do it, but it’s unlikely a topic he cares very much about.
If you want change, you likely need to convince congressional Republicans. I would expect that such congressman have a reasonable fear of being attacked for going against “America First” if they would move to repeal the Jones Act.
If DOGE would want to get rid of it, they would need to convince congressmen. There are likely a lot of laws that would be easier for them to target with the political capital they have.
