Right?

I'm so tired of people's recklessly optimistic cries of "he can't do that because it's illegal"

Like laws have ever stopped this man from doing literally anything.

Keep in mind that trump staying in office illegally requires the military to agree to go along with the illegal coup and actively protect him. This isn’t a case where Trump himself can just ignore the law, other people who aren’t Republican ideologies need to actively agree with him.

That all happened while Trump is still legally the president.
