Because martial law is the legal way. It gives local power to the military and it overrides the state government. You see how the states bend over for him. A judge can’t “postpone” martial law (I’m guessing).
Weapons to locals Trump troops, meetings with military generals, kicking the press out of the pentagon, I’m sure there’s lots I’m forgetting.
Everything he’s doing now is testing the water to see if we panic—and we just say “you mean! Where are the Epstein files?” And he waves his hand and distracts us from his literal weaponized takeover.
