Michael Beschloss: Americans need official reassurance that if Trump issues strange, unwarranted

[highplainsdem]

orders to United States military or tries to grant himself unwarranted emergency Presidential powers or asks for unwarranted martial law, such orders will be thwarted to protect our democracy.



At this moment, we Americans do not know enough about what government processes exist to make sure that a rash, selfish, demented, power-hungry, anti-democratic President cannot abuse his authority in desperate effort to cling to a job from which the voters decided to evict him.

1. With national guards, etc all over the USA on alert, now would

be the perfect time for Trump to pull something like Marshall law or whatever.

I hope we have not fallen into a Trump trap by having put all things in place for him try to pull some dirty trick - the pillow man had all those Martial law notes the last we heard.
