Trump Constitutional Coup In The Works?

- Donald Trump may declare martial law and a vote 'do-over' in order to steal the election

Is a Donald Trump constitutional coup currently being concocted right under our very noses?

Top News Today
According to The New York Times and other major news organizations, Trump is so hell-bent on holding onto the presidency that he has entered a last-ditch and dangerous “scorched earth” mentality in order to remain in The White House by any means necessary.

On Saturday during a heated Oval Office shouting match among several of his senior advisers, Trump said he is preparing to enact a scheme announced earlier in the week by newly pardoned former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The plot is to use his powers as president to declare martial law, then deploy the US military to swing states he lost in order to conduct a “do-over” presidential election.

Or, in other words, Trump is willing to destroy democracy and throw away millions of legally cast ballots in order to steal the election for his own personal gain.

“Within the swing states, if he wanted to, he could take the military capabilities and he could place them in those states and basically rerun an election in each of those states.” – Michael Flynn

During the meeting, Trump said he wants to order the US government to commandeer the Dominion voting machines used in the 2020 election so that his campaign can personally “inspect” them. He also intends to name conspiracy theory wingnut Sidney Powell (who was recently fired from the Trump campaign for being too ‘over-the-top’) as his special counsel for election fraud. If all goes as planned, his moves would amount to an incredibly blatant Trump constitutional coup similar to what one would expect from a third-world nation.

Concerned senior White House advisers and top Republicans now realize that this is no longer a controlled coddling of Trump’s bruised ego in order to cushion the blow of his election loss. If Trump gets away with even half of what he’s considering, democracy will be dead and the precedent will be set for any future president for perpetuity to throw away election results they don’t like just to remain in power.

Trump is “retweeting threats of putting politicians in jail, and spends his time talking to conspiracy nuts who openly say declaring martial law is no big deal, it’s impossible not to start getting anxious about how this ends,” a senior administration official said over the weekend. “People who are concerned and nervous aren’t the weak-kneed bureaucrats that we loathe,” the official added. “These are people who have endured arguably more insanity and mayhem than any administration officials in history.”

.

One person in attendance described the meeting as “ugly” and added that Powell and Flynn accused others of abandoning Trump in his bid to overturn the results of the election.

“It was heated — people were really fighting it out in the Oval, really forceful about it,” the source said.

Interestingly, Trump’s lawyer and lead-flunkie Rudy Giuliani was among those arguing against the proposed coup.

 Trump Constitutional Coup

Donald Trump is drunk with power. He’s also deeply obsessed with the authority and autocracy afforded to such dictators as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un — and he believes he deserves their same level of totalitarianism despite the US constitution. Additionally, Trump is desperate to avoid myriad legal cases by the State of New York and the almost certain jail time he’d face and would be powerless to avoid via a presidential pardon for himself.

So, this is “do or die” time for ‘The Donald.’  After losing election challenges in every federal court in the nation and watching his own hand-picked US Supreme Court justices slam the door in his face, this proposed Trump constitutional coup is all he has left. It’s come down to the choice of accepting the embarrassment of defeat and almost assuredly spending the rest of his life behind bars, or blowing up 244 years of democracy in order to save his favorite person: himself!

Will the Republican Party establishment stand by and allow this Trump constitutional coup to succeed solely for the sake of retaining political control?  Or, is it time to enact the 25th Amendment and immediately remove the man with the nuclear codes from the presidency before he destroys democracy and any and everything else standing in the way of his personal wants and needs?

I waited awhile before responding hoping other readers would chime in first.

Thank you DJ for this follow-up post. You did a related post not too long ago when the New York Times first broke the news of Flynn reprehensible idea – as noted in your post that Trump should ‘use his powers as president to declare martial law, then deploy the US military to swing states he lost in order to conduct a “do-over” presidential election.’

In my response to your initial post I expressed my frustration with the fact that the American news media was NOT giving Flynn’s treasonous suggestion hardly enough attention. Unfortunately it took NEW warnings from inside the White House that Trump is still considering such madness for the American news media to finally take THIS clear and present threat of Fascism seriously. 

Again I say….WE deserve better!

“Giuliani asks DHS about seizing voting machines” 

Excerpt:
Rudy Giuliani called Ken Cuccinelli, second in command at the Department of Homeland Security, on Thursday night and asked him whether DHS could seize voting machines, a source familiar with the call confirmed to Axios.

The state of play: Cuccinelli responded that DHS does not have that authority, the source said. 

Why it matters: The call, first reported by the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, is another manifestation of President Trump’s increasingly extreme efforts to contest an election that was called for President-elect Joe Biden six weeks ago. […] – Axios, Dec. 19, 2020

So after being told by Cuccinelli that “No can do” (regarding seizing the voting machines) Trump “the insane” has ordered his minions to trot out THIS lost cause again…..

“Trump campaign asks Supreme Court to overturn three rulings on Pennsylvania mail-in ballots”

Trump’s reelection campaign will ask the Supreme Court to overturn the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania after a string of legal losses, the campaign announced Sunday.

In the Sunday filing, Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said the campaign is seeking an order authorizing the state’s GOP-controlled legislature to give Trump the state’s electoral votes. The Electoral College formally certified President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the election last week. […] – The Hill, Dec. 21, 2020

Yes the Repubs will stand by while Trump desperately attempts a constitutional coup because (like Trump) they really do NOT give a fig about protecting Our democracy. BUT…Trump will NOT be successful. 

Re: the 25th Amendment?

Trump has pretty much proven that it’s worthless. Remove it.

CNN:

A meeting President Donald Trump held to discuss overturning the election result alarmed some White House staffers — people who are used to Trump’s inflammatory and anti-democratic rhetoric.

With only a month remaining until President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn into office, Trump has been ramping up his efforts to remain president, while also trying to convince millions of Americans that election fraud is to blame for his presidential loss.That’s nothing new. But a heated Oval Office meeting Friday in which Trump heard arguments about invoking martial law to stay in office had some Trump officials sounding the alarm to the press.

Mr.BD

This fool has lost his mind. He talked about Joe Biden having problems being old but I really think something is mentally off with Trump. They should take the 25th amendment and get him out of there now before he causes more trouble. Let Pence take over for a few weeks could not be worse than what we have now. There is no telling what Trump might do between now and the inauguration.

Truthiz1

You’re right BD. He IS mental. And that’s not hyperbole. It’s the Truth. The whole world knows it.

But even more disturbing is the fact that there’s NOT one Republican on Capitol Hill, in the House or Senate with the will or the Courage to support the 25th Amendment to remove that dangerous azz clown.

And if the 25th Amendment isn’t used NOW – when it is unquestionably appropriate to do so – then HOW on earth can it ever be used on another president who is found to be dangerously Unfit to hold that office?!

A precedent is being established.
