Backlash against CNN and New Times? Trump: Martial law is fake news

U.S. people gather at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 12, 2020, to protest against fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

U.S. President Donald Trump suddenly tweeted early Sunday (20) that martial law is fake news. Some believe that Trump’s comments were mainly in response to reports published by leftist media outlets CNN and the New York Times on Saturday that the White House was discussing the implementation of “martial law.

At about 1 a.m. EST on Dec. 20, Trump tweeted, “Martial law = fake news. Just more deliberate bad reporting!”

Recently, more and more evidence of election fraud has come to light, and the U.S. judiciary has generally taken the attitude of making excuses or simply turning a blind eye and refusing to acknowledge it. Many Trump supporters, frustrated with the judiciary, began to call intensively for Trump to impose martial law on the swing states where massive fraud occurred and to re-elect.

When this time, Trump suddenly issued the above-mentioned tweets denying “martial law”, so that the outside world is quite surprised. The actual fact is that some netizens have asked: could it be that Trump’s Twitter account has been hacked?

However, there are also views that Trump’s tweet is likely to be a response to the leftist media teaming up the day before to speculate on the so-called “White House chaos” fake news and make a response.

On Saturday (19), CNN, a leftist media outlet that has always been anti-Trump, posted an article about the so-called “chaos in the White House”. According to the article, an internal meeting was held at the White House on Friday, where some suggested that Trump appoint a special prosecutor to investigate election fraud, while others proposed “martial law” to stop Biden from taking office, for which the participants “broke out in a heated argument “.

CNN quoted people who were allegedly briefed on the meeting as describing it as “getting noisy” and “people yelling at each other from time to time,” and that “the atmosphere in the White House has become increasingly tense” and that Trump’s aides are “very worried” about what Trump will do.

On the same day, the New York Times also cited two unnamed “people familiar with the matter” that Trump and his campaign team met Friday to discuss the appointment of Sidney Powell as special counsel to investigate “election fraud” and to get her security clearance, and said Trump also asked the crowd about the idea of martial law, resulting in a heated debate over these discussions.

CNN and The New York Times have long held a radical anti-Trump stance, and Trump has repeatedly slammed them as “fake news. Trump’s early Sunday morning tweets, which are believed to be nothing more than a response to the reports of the two leftist media outlets, were apparently not an empty statement.

In the last month and a half, the Trump team has repeatedly released hard evidence and sworn testimony from witnesses suggesting massive election fraud in several swing states.

On December 17, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro also released a 36-page report that systematically analyzed the massive election irregularities and anomalies in these swing states on six levels, while pointing out that parts of the U.S. legislature, the judiciary and the leftist media have joined forces to suppress and distort the truth about election fraud.

As a wide range of shocking election fraud has surfaced, more and more members of Congress and voters from all walks of life have come forward to call on the U.S. judicial system to thoroughly investigate the fraud and defend the dignity of the Constitution and the fairness of the election.

Recently, there have been calls for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to resolve the current dilemma, which allows the president to send troops to quell a rebellion if it makes it “impractical to enforce the laws of the United States through the ordinary judicial process. Many analysts believe that this is currently one of Trump’s key options for resolving the current crisis.
