Why Wouldn’t He?
That’s what we keep coming back to these days, when people ask us if Trump really might try to pull one of the extra-crazy anti-Democratic measures he’s been batting around, just to try to keep himself in power
And it’s getting to the point now among rabid Trump supporters where anyone close to the President who is advising him against doing a coup, is seen as being — and probably always having been — part of an ever-existing, ever-broadening plot against Trump. Which means that Trump’s lies are still working on them at least, which means there are a heck of a lot of people who are completely susceptible to propaganda out there.
That list of supposed plotters against the President now includes the Supreme Court, other politicians and judges he once supported, and maybe Attorney General Bill Barr, who wedged his way into the Trump Administration by literally arguing the President is the Justice Department, though now he just said in reference to the Presidential election:
“If I thought a special counsel at this stage was the right tool and was appropriate, I would name one, but I haven’t, and I’m not going to.”
However, Barr won’t be around after Christmas.
