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. https://tinyurl.com/y9cx9q9n -- Bozo Binned: Herring, Bert Robbins, JackGoff 452471atgmail.com, Just-AN-Asshole, Tim, and Gunboy Alex, aka the Gang of Dull, Witless, Insult-Tossing Trumpsters. |

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. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

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