This would be one of the stupidest things he’s done if he did it. The fascist takeover of the US has been fairly peaceful (domestically) with most of the population being compliant. Invoking this and mobilising the military against US citizens would make things so much worse for the regime and possibly threaten civil war.

I’m guessing they’re keeping this card close so they can pull it when the midterms are coming so they can suspend (more like cancel) them.
