    Publicly televised military massacre. Trump is doing Saddam shit, and I wouldn’t put it past him to simply try to order the military to either start a shooting war with a near peer during said parade, or order them to gun down Congress/the SC.

      There are some messed up people in the military who are willing to do questionable things, but they still have friends and family outside of the military who would certainly look down on that. I think most people would balk at orders to gun down the other branches of government, especially since the court and Congress are majority conservative and ostensibly on Trump’s side and the military leans conservative. If there is a public massacre, it’ll probably be someone he sees as an easy target for his show of force, immigrants that he was blocked from deporting perhaps
