In reply to the discussion: House Democrats Briefed On 3 Terrifying Plots To Overthrow Government [View all]global1
(25,270 posts)18. Are All These Plots Really "Trump's Last Hope" To Keep His Job?.....
Is Trump sitting in the Oval hoping that violence breaks out in D.C. or around the country to the extent that he can institute 'martial law' and maintain the presidency?
Is this Trump's Last Stand?
One was to get the Electoral College to help him maintain the presidency.
Two was to incite an insurrection.
I see Three as hope violence breaks out across the country to the level of being able to justify declaring 'martial law'.
Any thoughts about this?

That's why Trump's been quiet - not losing his social platforms - keeping this all under his hat.
