(11,885 posts)To have more riots to try to declare martial law to use to bypass all of Congress and all of the Supreme Courts justices and decisions that would expose him. He could then block anything that exposes him and his family, keeping them out of jail. Or use martial law to prevent some from voting in area's he needs to win in. Either way his remaining options are bad, and he'll be desperate trying to get Putin to help him, but putins wanting his sanctions lifted. We'll know when trump tries that again very soon he and Putin are conspiring again to fix the upcoming election if he starts talking about lifting them again for Putin. With absolute power he could change it making him like Putin has done in Russia.
