This is showing up in NewsWeek! Trump is dangerous!
Actually,in 1973, the Joint Chiefs held a meeting, to decide what to do if Nixon were impeached, or resisted impeachment They decided they would vote on whether they would support the Congress, or the President. Scary, but true!
The problem as I see it...bringing all the facts together...it is very difficult to bring ‘reason,’ to insanity! And, that is what I see being played out on the world stage! The ‘word salad,’ goes on endlessly, but where is action to make some meaningful changes, to this INSANE situation?
I doubt he would try this. He would find out how many centrists and liberals own guns and are willing to forcibly remove him! I doubt the GOP would put up with it... Even thought they have turned out to be total pansies. They wouldn't take the heat for that!
Actually I think they WOULD take the heat for it, because their ideology is collapsing under its own infeasibility and unpopularity and they know it's their last shot at power or even credibility. That train has already left the station, thanks to Trump.
@mordant I tend to agree here...the apparently many advisers and supporters for trump, seem to have nothing to loose! I invision them ‘dying for the cause!’ And that is what scares me!
If he creates a National Emergency at the time that the 2020 election scheduled to occur, he could cancel the election itself on emergency grounds. He would promise to reinstitute after the so called emergency ended.
But either the emergency would never end, or he would just fail to reinstitute the election and remain in the office. Depending how truly narcissistic he reallly is, he would either step down aftet his regular eight year term was completed, or.... he just wouldn't step down at all. The last scenario is inconceivable, Trump as our president was inconceivable not to long ago.
That is true and is nothing more than an ongoing nightmare! Supported by a party that has lost any sense of decency! Surely, trump cannot possibly pull all this off on his own?
@Freedompath. We thought he could never become president, but here we are. If he changes the rule of law enough between now and 2020, anything is possible. He set the precedent with his veto last week.
@t1nick I am at a loss...I can’t believe this is happening in America and more so that people in high places and smarter than me...seem to have no influence! In the past, other people with power could move the needle!!! I don’t see the needle moving toward sanity!
@Freedompath. Neither do I unfortunately.
