Do you think Trump is going to declare martial law on April 20th?

r/

I see so many rumors that he may invoke martial law on Hitler’s birthday. Do you think there’s any merit to these rumors? Normally I would dismiss rumors, but with how unhinged Trump is I’m afraid that it is not outside the realm of possibility. It would also go along with Project 2025 to get rid of political dissent and get rid of Americans who protest Trump.

    Why would he declare martial law? There’s not mechanism to pronounce martial law for the president, because in martial law he wouldn’t be in charge.

    I would 100% believe that Elon Musk would do something edgy and stupid on 4/20. Trump, though? No, that’s silly. He doesn’t care about anything like that.

    I sincerely doubt it.

    How are we going to pay his golden tariffs if we’re under martial law? No.

    I was thinking of Pot Day cause it’s 4/20. Got very confused there for a minute!

    Its not because of Hitlers B Day, its because of the 90 day EO he gave. I believe its the one about gangsters or Mexican cartel.

    Some have posited he could use that report to force martial law.

    I dont know.

    But then again, who does?

    The date has nothing to do with 4/20, the date is that date because that’s when the 90 day report gets released

    Yes I think he will do it.

    He will at some point. He’s looking for an excuse.

    No, Trump makes policies based on what’s good for his image.

    He didn’t want to be President during his first term and he doesn’t want to be President now.

    He wants free media to still be there after he’s out of office so he can start the Trump News Network, and sell books (which most likely was his main motivation for running in 2016 at all)

    I’m really down for shit talking Trump wherever the opportunity is presented, but this seems looney.

    Fuck I don’t know man. If he does it will be over immigration or something dumb, even though he’s already struggling to meet the desired numbers and going after student visas. Who can be certain what he’ll do anymore, but this wouldn’t be out of line with the Trump status quo. That’s wild enough by itself

    What kind of stupid nonsense is this?

    Like, I don’t put it past Trump doing something this chaotic and stupid, but come on now.

    I remember when Biden won and Qanon was all like – the real inauguration is going to be March 4.

    How would that even be enforced? America is huge after all.

    I think the April 20 rumor is most likely an attempt from the right and from Russia to get people on the left to ascribe to conspiracy theories in hopes that they will become as radicalized and easy to manipulate as the MAGA contingent.

    I would not be surprised if a future protest or Trump’s military birthday parade (which protesters are sure to attend) became the impetus for martial law. I also wouldn’t put it past them to declare martial law for no reason or a completely fabricated reason but I’m just speculating based on past behaviors from this regime.

    Do you have a link or something? No I don’t think Trump is going to declare martial law on April 20th.

    Uh…. That sounds like an internet rumor with zero evidence to back it up.

    So…. No.

    And frankly, you should know this.

    Elon Musk will probably pull some stupid Xitter stunt about Hitler and pot and DOGE or whatever that day for his chud followers. I don’t know that Trump will do anything though.

    At this point, if it’s something he has said he wants to do, I think we need to take it seriously that he will do it. And just like Project 2025, even if it something someone else has said he’s going to do, and he’s denied it, I think we still need to take it seriously and be prepared for him to do it.
