It is the sort of thing fascists would look back on with longing, though, per TJ's wikipedia link:



I hope TJ's right, that nothing but more bad talk from Trump is in the offing.

I hate to have to keep hoping things like that. Seems to indicate something is really wrong.

In times of war when the nation is under dire threat what was unconstitutional can indeed become constitutional. It happened during the Civil War, WWI and WWII. Perception is everything in matters like this.

True observation, however one may view the claimed justification.

It's sort of like the reason I'm less worried than I might be about the claim that the IC so-called 'Deep State' is cooking up extra-constitutional action against Trump.
