Trump is CIC of the Military.

Could he get away with using the Pentagon and the branches of the Military to attack civilians in this country as declaring a "war"?

The precedent is sending troops to "guard" the Southern border- he's already done that and nobody did anything about it. I could see Trump ordering an attack on US citizens and/or immigrants. The question would then be whether "his" Generals and "his" military would obey his orders, or resign.

My concerns about the faux "civil war" is not an actual one, but his signaling to his devotees.

There have to be two sides in this imaginary, epic battle the keyboard warriors are fantasizing about and lusting for. That's not the case. What if you gave a civil war and nobody came? It is nothing berders in that sense.

However, he could rile his little bands of storm troopers up, (which is one of the reasons I refer to him as Benedict Manson) and even though they are relatively small in number and many are cartoon soldiers that are pitifully out of shape, if they act up, then they will be fighting or opposed by law enforcement and government, not necessarily civilians. There might be unnecessary violence and some chaos, but that is not the real goal.

So, what might be going on in Benedict's evil little mind? Well, if enough of his zombies act up at one time, they could create a crisis that would then give cause for declaring Marshall Law. That could be a game changer and I would think he might want something like that in order to consolidate power and detract from the legal process if possible.

It's a stretch, but I would watch for that, cornered rat and all. He is dangerous. We all know that. Even his proximity to the football and having the nuclear codes are a real cause for concern now.

contractors, stiffs them and then threatens to sue them. They can't afford the time and or money to get what they are owed so they are screwed. He is an evil POS! Despicable!
