Is Trump about to invoke the insurrection act?
Manage episode 475495940 series 3085725
President Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act back in 2020, but he was prevented by the opposition of his then-defence secretary and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But now those people have been replaced with loyalists, and there's nobody around him who is going to tell him it's a bad idea. On his first day, he inserted a ticking time bomb into one of his initial Executive Orders - a deadline for when he should receive a report recommending whether or not he should cross that line. The deadline expires very soon ... Let's discuss.
