If he's declaring martial law and sending in the troops, making arrests, shutting down Congress and the courts, jailing people who oppose him, and all the rest then what does he need a new election for?
I believe he'd do whatever is takes.
I believe Trump has too much respect for the Constitution and the Founding Fathers to do something as crazy as declaring martial law and sending in the troops.
Who said anything about shutting down congress and the courts? Not I.
And he wouldn't be jailing people who just oppose him. Remember, they committed crimes by committing election fraud. They just weren't "peacefully protesting" their dislike for Trump.
".... I believe Trump has too much respect for the Constitution and the Founding Fathers to do something as crazy as declaring martial law and sending in the troops...."
Why do you think Trump would be disrespecting the Constitution and the Founding Fathers if he invoked a legal, legitimate law, the Insurrection Act, passed by Congress and signed by a previous president? Why is following the constitution and trying to keep the Republic from falling into Marxist hands considered a violation of that respect?
If this treasonous attempt at a coup d'état against a legitimate winning president and the attempt to illegitimately take over the country isn't reason enough to invoke the Insurrection Act, then I don't know what would be.
If Trump goes down, it won't be for not trying every last available tool in his presidential tool box. And he won't go down without taking a bunch of treasonous, democRATic traitors down with him.
I'll finish by saying this. One never succeeds or wins in life or whatever endeavor you seek, by looking for ways not to succeed or win. You must look for ways to win or you never will. This is Trump's last chance if he is going to remain in the WH. Anything short of that by second guessing and looking for excuses why you can't do something, are going to result in failure. My money is on Trump.
