trump s tenure in the run up to january 6th, particularly a meeting that occurred on december 18th, 2020, roughly six weeks after election and a few weeks below before january 6th in the oval office between donald trump and his most conspiracy obsessed outside advisers lawyers. it was just one of trump s last-ditch efforts to cling to power and overturn the election. on friday, december 18th, this team of outside advisers paid him a surprise visit in the white house that would quickly become the stuff of legend. the meeting has been called unhinged, not normal, in the craziest meeting of the trump presidency. they brought to the white house a draft executive order that they re prepared for president trump to further his ends, specifically they propose the immediate mask seizure of state election machines by the u.s. military. take a second to think about how that would ve gone over. the immediate massacre of u.s. voting machines by the military. what would that mean? what
