What if Trump crashes Jan 6 certification session?

Trump is coming back to Washington and everyone wonders why. What if he plans to crash the Senate session on January 6 when the Electoral College vote is to be certified? He’s President Chaos, after all, and wouldn’t that create maximum chaos?

He’s told his followers, “see you on January 6.” The spectacle of him crashing the session would be a great way to insure that his followers, indeed the whole country and the world would see him at his raging finest.

I’m not sure if Senate rules allow the President access to their chambers without invitation. But Trump has said, “I’m the President, I can do what I want.” And who would stop him? McConnell? Would the Turtle tell the Sergeant at Arms to block the door? Would the Sergeant at Arms do it? How would the Secret Service react? What if a scuffle ensued? Would Republicans rush to his aid? Would violence break out on the floor of the Senate?

Picture Trump rushing the podium, grabbing the box of Electoral College votes, and tossing them all to the floor, declaring them fake, fraudulent, illegal, moot, null and void! Ballots, or whatever is in the box, get trashed and many disappear. What happens to the vote then? The clerks count what’s left and then, well, who knows?

Face it. This is just the kind of stunt Trump would pull. He’s desperate. He’s deranged. He’s President Chaos! Anything could happen.
