If Trump is elected what makes anyone think that he will abide by the Constitution or any law there in? Whether it’s the Insurrection Act or anything else? Trump will do what he wants. He will have Putin and the Russians to back him up. The billionaires who control the media and the financial markets won’t do anything. The only way to stop it is to prevent trump from getting “elected”.

Hartmann is correct that next time, Trump will surround himself with people who will do his bidding. He already started that process by pushing for his daughter-in-law to be co-chair of the Republican party. I expect him to choose Ivanka or other close relative to be his running mate, as paranoid dictators are prone to do. You're right Kay. He doesn't care about the law, only what he can get away with.
Agreed. No one seems to fully grasp that despots do not care about laws and will find their way around them once the toadies are installed. Good to fix the laws, but in reality they don’t stop authoritarians- and they def won’t stop Trump in a 2nd term. Tho honestly he doesn’t like to do any work so…
Tim Kaine has been on MSNBC reminding us that there is a recent law that at least makes the Pres. get Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO. One small step....

Good point! He’s already dissed the constitution. Why would he even follow it! “if the President does it, it’s not illegal “. Nixon. And trump.

But, just maybe, the Congress would pull together to fight against him. It’s best to at least give them the tools to use.
