Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump…

        Apparently, any and all blatantly false national emergency declarations just sail right through any checks and balances. Martial law is just as easy. Surely a fentanyl tweaker Mexican anti fa supporter will be accused of rape at some point.

      Yeah, as if he thinks the rules apply to him, even the Constitution. Even if he were to somehow lose a heavily-rigged election, he would just pull a Maduro, and simply refuse to leave the White House. It’s doubtful that anyone would do anything like physically drag him out of the White House. He would just stay there as the Dems dragged it through the courts, and then he would ignore whatever unfavorable decisions the courts make, and the Republicans in Congress would go along with it.
