Putting aside the constitutional merits of the 14th A ballot argument, there are things like this that should be politically disqualifying for consideration of a second term. The article refers to an Oval Office meeting with Sidney Powell and Mike Flynn. Two people who shouldn't have been within 100 hundred miles of the WH let alone allowed in to the Oval Office.
President Trump on Friday discussed naming Sidney Powell, who as a lawyer for his campaign team unleashed conspiracy theories about a Venezuelan plot to rig voting machines in the United States, to be a special counsel overseeing an investigation of voter fraud, according to two people briefed on the discussion.
During an appearance on the conservative Newsmax channel this week, Mr. Flynn pushed for Mr. Trump to impose martial law and deploy the military to “rerun” the election. At one point in the meeting on Friday, Mr. Trump asked about that idea.
Ms. Powell’s ideas were shot down by every other Trump adviser present, all of whom repeatedly pointed out that she had yet to back up her claims with proof. At one point, one person briefed on the meeting said, she produced several affidavits, but upon inspection they were all signed by a man she has previously used as an expert witness, whose credentials have been called into question.
The White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, and the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, repeatedly and aggressively pushed back on the ideas being proposed, which went beyond the special counsel idea, those briefed on the meeting said.
Trump Weighed Naming Election Conspiracy Theorist as Special Counsel (Published 2020)
In a meeting at the White House on Friday, President Trump weighed appointing Sidney Powell, who promoted conspiracy theories about rigged voting machines, to investigate voter fraud.www.nytimes.com
In my view, any prez who would consider making a delusional freak like Powell a special counsel, or even be in her presence in the WH, is unfit to be prez.
In my view, any prez who would inquire about the declaration of martial law in order to advance a plot to steal the election he lost is unfit to be prez.
IOW, THERE HAS TO BE A LINE OR WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE? Overlooking unprecedented moral shortcomings on top of turning a blind eye to contemplating extra-constitutional measures to overturn the people's will.........how do you cult members possibly justify it? Because this example is only one of hundreds of examples highlighting what makes Trump unfit for the office of POTUS.
The Founding Fathers never believed that the American people would ever elect a man as stupid and as deranged as Trump.
Unfortunately for us, Putin did.
