It appears that Trump’s plan to either sabotage or completely suspend the election of 2028 (with 2026 as a testing ground) is straightforward, a play in three acts.

First, he’s having his ICE and CPB people engage in as provocative behavior as possible, trying to produce a violent response from the citizens of Chicago or any other city where they can pull it off.

The apparent reason for this and his many lies about cities in flames and chaos is because he wants an excuse to declare an insurrection, invoke the Insurrection Act, and either lock down or suspend altogether for the duration of the “emergency” the next presidential elections in 2028.

Steve Bannon is already claiming Trump will be president in 2029; Governors JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsome have both specifically referenced this possibility.

And it appears the corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court may be planning to help him out with his project of using the military to end democracy in America. There’s now a debate about whether the phrase “regular forces” in the law Trump’s using to deploy troops includes ICE, local/state police, federal police agencies like the FBI, or military forces. The Court has asked for further arguments from both sides on the issue, with filings completed by November 10th.

Second, once Trump’s thugs have stirred up enough opposition in the streets of one or more major cities to justify it, he’ll then drop the hammer with troops in a way that may well make Kent State look like a high school play.

The resulting violence and chaos will give him the excuse he needs to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, something he has repeatedly referenced in the past few months.

Third, with the authority of the Supreme Court and the Insurrection Act behind him, he’ll suspend the elections “until the present emergency subsides” and essentially declare himself king for life.
