After a weekend where millions of Americans denounced him for trying to be a “king,” President Trump suggested invoking the Insurrection Act, claiming it gives him “unquestioned power” and that there will be “no more court cases... no more anything.”

    That couples really well with his “I’m not a king” message

      Did he ever bother saying that? Doesn’t really sound like him to defend his position instead of attacking ours

    Sooner or later he will do it. That’s his end goal. Everything he has done had been laying the ground work for this. He’s even likely more eager to do it now because his circle of sycophants will praise him for mentioning it in public.

    He is only bummed out that the protests were peaceful. He will keep escalating the pressure and provocations on the American people until he gets a violent unrest to justify doing it.

    Huh?

    You’d think there would be violence, or litter, or something…

    Just Epstein files, bribes, and constant law breaking…

    Every time he says he “could” do a thing but “chooses not to”, that means he’s “going to do that thing”.
