It is being reported traitor has told an interviewer if he loses he will invoke the insurrection act

Take over with the military? Others can explain it better than me.

Told you...

This is allegedly in an interview he did with I think someone at faux and it is yet to be aired. Personally I knew he would do something like this and he may use Russia to help him.


EDIT (got more info)

he said if he wins and we protest, so what he means is WHEN he and putin steal the election and when we protest that, he will use our own troops to kill us.

out another medal to an Iraqi vet. Probably deserved by the guy, but Trump was using him as a campaign prop.

The question was something like what would he do when the Democrats rioted after his victory was announced. Made me think the fix is in.

BTW, God Bless you.

President Trump said Thursday that he would “very quickly” stifle riots on election night if Democrats organize protests against his potential victory, suggesting he would do so by employing a law allowing him to deploy active-duty troops domestically.

“We’ll put them down very quickly if they do that. We have the right to do that, we have the power to do that if we want,” Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro when asked how he would stop potential riots on election night should he win.

“Look, it’s called insurrection. We just send in and we do it, very easy. I mean, it’s very easy. I’d rather not do that because there’s no reason for it, but if we had to we’d do that and put it down within minutes,” Trump continued.

Trump appeared to be referring to the Insurrection Act, an 1807 law that authorizes the commander in chief to deploy U.S. troops domestically to enforce federal or state laws under certain circumstances. The law has been used in rare and extreme cases in U.S. history, and Trump endured backlash when he suggested he could use the provision earlier this year to quell protests following the police killing of George Floyd.

Once he loses the election his term ends at whatever point, I think it's midnight on January 19th or 20th. Then he isn't president anymore. I seriously doubt that the secret service is going to want to deal with him anymore at that point.

When Joe Biden is sworn in at noon on January 20, 2021.

The trick is getting from November 3 to that date with our country still intact.

right away (might have a good clue though), so I wouldn't worry about it. He loves to cause panic, despite his lies saying the opposite.

have made sure of that.

I love the people, just one I think, who INSTANTLY question my credibility and not a word about what the traitor is doing....wow, still? On a liberal message board and their first instinct is dont believe the fellow liberal, believe the traitor!



Not talking about you, of course.


BTW


A. the fix is in...

B. he will attack and kill us with our troops if we protest the stolen election...

I believe he'll cry and rant, but he'll leave and probably stay pretty much hidden until Biden takes over.
