Q) Why is Trump Crashing the Economy? A) Martial Law [View all]

(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]
