There's been rather silent here lately from our US fellows. How come?
It seems like there is a severe turning point coming up in the USA. Is it only to us reading from the outside that this seems to be the case?
This is how I see it, how do you see it?
Trump knows that as soon as he is out of office,
he will face a flood of indictments from the Southern District of New York (and perhaps other jurisdictions) for money laundering, bank fraud, tax fraud, and obstruction of justice. He knows he will go to jail. He will do everything in his power to avoid that fate.
If he is defeated in the upcoming election, he may simply refuse to leave office.
He will say that the election was rigged, and he will refuse to concede.
What then?
With the Senate having already relinquished their power to hold him accountable, who will remove him from office?
It would be up to the Secret Service and/or the military to enforce the results of the election. Would they?
And if he wins the election, his installation as king is secure.
It may be the last real presidential election you ever have.
The latest polls show the president having an unfavourable rating
of 48%. Those numbers will not change for the better between now and election. If there even is an election.
The president violated his own oath of office, and the joint chiefs
of staff violated their oath of enlistment. Commissioned officers and
buck privates alike violated their oath by carrying out the illegal
orders of a president gone mad.
His own warped interpretation, as only he could interpret it. If
the military and police forces continue to go along with him, he
will be in effect a dictator with no check on his power. Just like
Il Duce (notice Trump's habit of folding his arms, same as Benito Mussolini).
Trump knows that as soon as he is out of office,
C'mon, man! Get real!
He's a lifer, just like Putin and his Korean pal!
You're dreamin'. No former president has ever been put in prison.
Trump knows he cannot win any election that is contested fairly.
He already knows he has no chance to win. So why play?
Much better to declare victory and move on.
All this despite the oath they took in order to do their jobs.
It may be the last real presidential election you ever have.
At least a king is answerable to God.
