4. A trigger event can be anything Trump wants it to be...

Somebody spitting on his cheeseburger.

But as long as States control elections - we will vote in 2026 & 2028, unless he puts the military in the States. Maybe, that is why he is creating a loyalty Oath for the military (via his group vexing the military high command).

I think that depending on the Senate or House to control Trump is a waste of time because they are more chicken-shit than chicken-shit.

But if Trump is able to control the military - then all bets are off on whether this nation survives without Civil War.
