Q) Why is Trump Crashing the Economy? A) Martial Law

[Ranting Randy]

(I'd sure like to be wrong about this)
If he creates a national emergency, he will declare Martial Law and then the fertilizer will really hit the ventilator.

Martial Law
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law

Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.[1] Martial law can continue for a specified amount of time, or indefinitely, and standard civil liberties may be suspended for as long as martial law continues.[2][1] Most often, martial law is declared in times of war or emergencies such as civil unrest and natural disasters.[3] Alternatively, martial law may be declared in instances of military coups d'état.[4]

2. The Shitstain

has a Congress loaded with accomplices. They won't interfere with Dear Leader.

5. This is why djt is testing the senate waters,...

... with his shitty cabinet picks of absolute morons. He figures if he can get full confirmation for these buffoons from the ReThugs that is a pretty good indication declaring Martial Law would meet little to no resistance at all.

Once djt declares Martial Law then Project 2025 - The Nazi Manefesto can be fully enacted forthwith without hesitation or apprehensions.

Full blast Fascism will become the means of day to day governance. American Democracy will be declared obsolete and a lost cause.

3. Unemployment will lead to a lot of desperate people

Who might be more susceptible to whatever outlandish thing he does.

It will also presumably cause interest rates and inflation to go down.

4. Trump can't declare 'martial law.'

In addition to the criteria noted in the OP, in order for martial law to be declared, the civil courts must cease to function in a given jurisdiction, and martial law applies solely to such a jurisdiction.

See: Ex parte Milligan (1866).

6. I'm sure he'll abide by that and not do anything beyond his actual power

7. T-rump doesn't care if his declarations are legal or not...He is above and beyond the law.

He'll just do as he pleases (ordered by Musk and others) and that will be the law until the months and years of court battles are over (if ever).

8. No 2nd Amendment MAGA gun lovers !

Suspension means just that!

Did they think that far ahead. No Free press or speech! NO gun ownership.!

11. I've been preaching this for a long time. The trumpers don't understand that he is coming for their 2A rights.

He doesn't want any armed resistance.
dumb bastards

[Ranting Randy]

12. Not true, he just released members of his own militia.

They will recruit more members of their own 2A armed cult, Posse Comitatus Act ( limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States) is already irrelevant to Trump. He proved that with his Bible stunt. No consequences there either. So he will have us forces and his own private army available to him.

13. They would be the loyalists, not the resistance, allowed to continue to

be armed. Not the general public

[Johnny2X2X]

9. I think he wants to tank it now to blame Biden

Then he can reshape the economy per Project 2025 to work only for the rich.

10. Also the only tool we have to fight back is Direct Democratic Action

On a massive scale
