Trump Reportedly Asked Advisors About Deploying Military To Overturn
Election
Nicholas Reimann
Forbes Staff

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.

And one can stop right there. 'Reportedly' is a synonym for 'bull****'. I'm
surprised any 'writer' would actually give such an article any credibility.

It would be a lot easier to dismiss it as bull**** if it didn't have
the ring of truth to it, and if it wasn't consistent with some of
Trump's recent actions - actions like firing secretary of defense Mark
Esper for refusing to invoke the insurrection act in June of this year
among other things.

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

Trump's felonious former adviser Michael Flynn was suggesting to Trump
he do those very things.

Not all ringing is from sleigh bells.

What would be your reaction to a declaration of martial law because of
the election results?

Most likely the same as yours. All officers have taken this oath:

"I, A.B., do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that
I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation
freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will
well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to
enter. So help me God."

Note that it does not say to follow any unlawful orders, which I'm sure is the
way that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff sees it.

I, for one, would not be OK with that. But it hasn't happened, and based on the accuracy of the media over the last few years, it's highly unlikely that it will. After all, there have been countless "stories" on the MSM news that this or that was happening, all anti-Trump. Just to find out a day or two later that it didn't really happen, or was just conjecture based on "sources". In other words, all BS.

It has been a very successful campaign aimed at shaping public opinion, apparently including your own.
