The US used to be on the other side of these things - rights and freedoms for all, despite what the majority may think. This was an approach inspired by a world history of victimized minorities that the US had looked to learn from and not repeat.

You're accepting an incorrect premise. Regardless of what he says in a tweet, he's beholden to ideological interests and a cadre of oligarchs, and their agenda is very clearly spelled out in Project 2025. The only reason he's disavowing it right now is that it's unpopular. If he gets elected there is no reason to think he's going to stand up to the people who wrote and support that agenda. In fact there's every reason to think he won't.
So yes, the prospect of a new Trump administration taking multiple runs at a national abortion ban isn't just a possibility, it's a strong likelihood.
