Trump Reportedly Asked Advisors About Deploying Military To Overturn
Election

President Donald Trump reportedly inquired about an idea raised by his
former (and now pardoned) national security adviser, Michael Flynn, that
the U.S. military be deployed to overturn the results of the
presidential election—a claim shot down by his advisors at a meeting
where the president appeared to embrace increasingly fringe notions
about his election loss.

New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman reported
Saturday that the president asked about Flynn’s idea, as senior
officials are reportedly becoming very unsettled by Trump’s escalating
interest in crackpot plans during his last days in power.

On Thursday, Flynn said that Trump could deploy the military to swing
states he lost to President-elect Joe Biden in order to “rerun” the
presidential election.

During the meeting, Trump also floated naming the conspiracy-theorist
attorney Sidney Powell—who has pushed a baseless theory that long-dead
Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez rigged voting machines—as special counsel
to investigate voter fraud.

Axios reported Saturday that even some of Trump’s long-loyal top
officials have been dismayed by Trump’s behavior, including his interest
in Flynn’s views, with one senior official saying Trump “spends his time
talking to conspiracy nuts who openly say declaring martial law is no
big deal.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment
from Forbes but Trump tweeted later on Saturday that the reporting on
him weighing martial law was “Fake News.”

“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,” Flynn said in a Newsmax appearance
Thursday.

Reportedly? Seems as if the modern press is more like a propaganda machine
these days.
