has a Congress loaded with accomplices. They won't interfere with Dear Leader.

... with his shitty cabinet picks of absolute morons. He figures if he can get full confirmation for these buffoons from the ReThugs that is a pretty good indication declaring Martial Law would meet little to no resistance at all.

Once djt declares Martial Law then Project 2025 - The Nazi Manefesto can be fully enacted forthwith without hesitation or apprehensions.

Full blast Fascism will become the means of day to day governance. American Democracy will be declared obsolete and a lost cause.

Who might be more susceptible to whatever outlandish thing he does.

It will also presumably cause interest rates and inflation to go down.

In addition to the criteria noted in the OP, in order for martial law to be declared, the civil courts must cease to function in a given jurisdiction, and martial law applies solely to such a jurisdiction.

See: Ex parte Milligan (1866).

He'll just do as he pleases (ordered by Musk and others) and that will be the law until the months and years of court battles are over (if ever).

Suspension means just that!

Did they think that far ahead. No Free press or speech! NO gun ownership.!

He doesn't want any armed resistance.
dumb bastards

They will recruit more members of their own 2A armed cult, Posse Comitatus Act ( limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States) is already irrelevant to Trump. He proved that with his Bible stunt. No consequences there either. So he will have us forces and his own private army available to him.

be armed. Not the general public

Then he can reshape the economy per Project 2025 to work only for the rich.

On a massive scale
