Supposedly senior members of the Trump mal-administration are concerned that their boss might do something really crazy to remain in the White House. These are the same people who routinely repeat Trump's unfounded attacks on the 2020 presidential election and the various Democratic, Republican and non-partisan election official who lives are being endangered by Trump unhinged attacks. Still, their boy is hanging out in the Oval Office with some real nut jobs - including Flynn, Giuliani and Powell.
Senior Trump administration officials are increasingly alarmed that President Trump might unleash — and abuse — the power of government in an effort to overturn the clear result of the election.
These officials tell me that Trump is spending too much time with people they consider crackpots or conspiracy theorists and flirting with blatant abuses of power.Their fears include Trump's interest in former national security adviser Michael Flynn's wild talk of martial law; an idea floated of an executive order to commandeer voting machines; and the specter of Sidney Powell, the conspiracy-spewing election lawyer, obtaining governmental power and a top-level security clearance.
Trump is too lazy to actually pull off this sort of thing. It requires leadership and commitment. Trump isn't going to put himself on the line, but it does keep the MAGAs riled up.
