trump just might, and we need to consider the possibility, just might be being prompted by some source, that may be thinking/planning ahead - to take advantage of a crisis. Emergency/martial powers are dangerous. A number of 'con Senators may be 'compromised by NRA, etc. 'campaign contributions' - creating further dangers.

trump may just be 'crazy' - but, we must consider other possibilities.

who are so compromised, that trump may count on those senate supporters and votes.

Trump has been pushing Russian propaganda. The kind of shit Fox News doesn't even say. Someone is definitely pulling his strings, like Russian intelligence.

He can't appropriate money without Congress, but of course he is too stupid to realize it.

Limits on 'executive power' poorly defined. 123 statutes granting the President various powers.

Secession then becomes viable and legal when the compact called the Constitution is broken.

The President of the United States has available certain powers that may be exercised in the event that the nation is threatened by crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances (other than natural disasters, war, or near-war situations). Such powers may be stated explicitly or implied by the Constitution, assumed by the Chief Executive to be permissible constitutionally, or inferred from or specified by statute. Through legislation, Congress has made a great many delegations of authority in this regard over the past 200 years.

Disputes over the constitutionality or legality of the exercise of emergency powers are judicially reviewable. Indeed, both the judiciary and Congress, as co-equal branches, can restrain the executive regarding emergency powers. So can public opinion. Furthermore, since 1976, the President has been subject to certain procedural formalities in utilizing some statutorily delegated emergency authority. The National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651) eliminated or modified some statutory grants of emergency authority; required the President to declare formally the existence of a national emergency and to specify what statutory authority, activated by the declaration, would be used; and provided Congress a means to countermand the President’s declaration and the activated authority being sought. The development of this regulatory statute and subsequent declarations of national emergency are reviewed in this report ...

He makes “maybe this, maybe that” statements, “people are saying” comments, “I’m considering” “I’m looking at” etc., none of which have any substance whatever. Later he just pretends he never said it.

We need to be vigilant but not let him keep us hysterical.
