No, but Trump doesn’t like him as much as he once imagined he might.

The feeling is probably mutual.

if something would have happened to Pence or even a democrat senator/representative, would you think he would have hesitated to declare martial law?

If it would keep him in the white house longer in a heart beat, if not no.

He is the most disgusting worst President of all time at least in the Modern era.

According to one WH staffer, the possibility was mooted by Flynn, but other advisors weighed in against it. In any case, even if Trump had declared martial law, it would not have extended his term of office. He will no longer be the president of anything but his own delusions at noon on 20th January, come hell or high water.

>>Martial law is not mentioned in the Constitution. Nor is it authorized by any act of Congress. The Supreme Court has never directly held that the federal government has the power to impose martial law. Although the Insurrection Act allows the president to use armed forces to “suppress” an insurrection and restore immediate law and order upon the request of a state legislature or governor, an 1878 law called the Posse Comitatus Act otherwise forbids the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. A criminal statute puts members of the military who prevent or attempt to interfere with voters “exercising the right of suffrage” at risk of going to prison for up to five years.<<
