If I were on Trumps team I would 100% agree to this (doubtful Trump will, but who knows).
They know Trump won't be able to follow the rules, so they can either have him look like more of an idiot, or they can let him get cut off, and trot out how biased the debate was. They'll say "Just look at the numbers, they cut off Trumps mic 120 times, they only cut of Biden's 4 times. What a terrible biased system!"

It won't matter that Trump interrupted/broke the rules 30x more often, they'll just hold it up as proof that the debate is biased, and you can't trust the media.

If the rules are changed so that mics can be cut, I would bet a lot of money that that is exactly the narrative coming out of the Trump campaign the next day.
