Trump issues warning to opponents: 'It would be very bad' if his military, police and biker supporte

72. Let us fervently hope that he DOESN'T have the support of the federal police or the

military if the crunch comes.

Let us pray these people remember their oaths are not to Trump but to this nation.

Armed Forces
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

National Guard
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.

Federal Agents
I [name] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and 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.

The clauses that should bind the military and national guard are, '...according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice,' and '...according to law and regulations.'

So, if it comes out that Trump has broken the law, and he is impeached, tried and removed from office, then he's no longer the president. Or, if he loses in 2020, and refuses to leave office, then he is also no longer the president. It is at that point that our armed forces, National Guard, and federal law enforcement MUST remember and uphold their oaths.

I guess the real question here is:

Will our institutions hold?

We'd better hope they do. Fervently.
