Secret Executive Orders...PEADs

12. Interesting. However, these secret orders don't work in a vacuum

Trump could declare martial law, let's say, because of widespread voter fraud. He could call it a danger to our national security. But this only works if military and law enforcement go along with him. What if military leaders tell him to go jump in a lake?

I think these extreme orders work on the idea that everyone would "know" if the time was right to exercise them.

I wonder if Trump has ever been seen with the legitimacy it would require to enact such extreme measures on the country. The citizens would have to believe that a president truly loved the country before they would accept the enacting of measures that could ruin it. Trump only loves himself.
