does trump respect something as trivial as laws?...

It's not like the Congress will hold him accountable.

I wonder where all the Jade Helm alarmists have gone to? Boy, didn't they raise a stink about their fever dream of being rounded up and imprisoned in abandoned Wal Marts? Or the folks who were so bent out of shape about President Obama's proposed start-of-school message to students about being good citizens and studying hard in class? I haven't heard a peep out of those people concerning this.

By the way, what's the penalty for transmitting a message that does not relate to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster or threat to public safety? I checked the text of the law, and it doesn't specify a fine, jail time or any other punishment for violating the law.

We have an alert system. There is no reason for Trump to be a part of this AT ALL. I can see no benefit to this and plenty of potential for abuse. In his hands, it could also be incredibly dangerous if he were to use it to announce phony terror attacks or nuclear threats from our "enemies" - or more likely, his enemies.

This is just a bad idea all the way around. There is no logical reason for him to have this capability.

any time he talks it is an act of terrorism?

he is a man-made disaster?

he is a threat to public safety?

as if that has ever stopped that creature from doing anything he wants to.

Traditions and norms are important to him
