Trump on Fox News this morning: Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

The question is whether Congress or the Courts or the Military have the integrity to shut him down when he goes berserk dictator on us.

He should be able to rule over his jail cell or asylum room once he is put away for the rest of his miserable, insane life.

But a sincere deranged person . Someone who used to like you but found out what an evil dick you are. And of course has a gun.

Think about that, President Deranged Idiot.

Just musing of course. I wouldn't want that. no matter how much you deserve it.

And you know you deserve it. As far as your withered brain is able to "know" anything.

"50% of the presidents almost have used that."

It's actually been just 15 Presidents (or 33%) who have invoked the insurrection act and none of them did it for fake reasons like Trump would. Trump has zero legitimate justification for it.
