    Example #9,856,001 of Things Trump Cannot Legally Do Without Congress.

    Consequences are coming any day now… ANY day now…

      Or even with congress. The constitution says each state has the power to manage their own elections.

        But Trump would have to read the Constitution to uphold it, right? So I guess that’s just out.

      His only way to bypass Congress would be to invoke martial law. With DHS oversight currently furloughed due to a budget battle, it’s very likely ICE murders more people to provoke an armed response (or false flag it) and Trump declares martial law. It’s flimsy but probably the only thing he can do.

      he might. the first MAGA hats were introduced in 2015. this would make them almost 11 years old.

      I don’t believe he’s ever worn a hat … not for several decades, at least.

      Wearing a hat would imperil that very fragile-looking shit on his head that passes for hair.

        I mean that’s a funny joke and all, but like there’s so so many pictures of him wearing hats recently too.
