No he didn't.
Fake news
This is a fucking lie!
Let’s drag him out of the White House, just like Mussolini was dragged out of office. And you know the rest!!!
He’s just trying to stay relevant...70% of the military voted against Trump..
I read it was another member in the meeting that raised that point. I think poor press misleading us again.
“According to reports”😂 fake news as always🤡
realDonaldTrump should do whatever is necessary to win for the future of this country and everyone in it
This is great news!
Fake news. Shame on you
W/out proof he wont get the military. This is noise by a Crying Man Baby.
Guess who is the dictator?
Wouldn't that cause a civil war?
Fake news! Read tweet from President Trump realDonaldTrump
It CAN happen—to 72 million nothing matters to them except what Trump tells them. They are willing to discard truth, decency, the constitution, freedom, peace and their very own lives for HIM. Their devotion is no different than the fanatical love Germans had for Hitler.
Ok so polititians critize Iran, Venezuela and Cuba for having dictactors and not havinf democracy but we want to do the same thing? Brilliant...
That would be Treason!
He has really lost all his marbles rattle rattle his brain goes , he is so scared of going to prison maybe better move to Russia with his brown nose a closer to Putin
Michael Flynn should go down in History like Benedict Arnold did, a TRAITOR!
FAKE - NEWS he said it himself..... no martial law fake news
Because he wants to be a real life dictator.
Has Rodney become a parrot owned by Trump. Lost his focus in proclaiming the gospel and pushing political agenda to get his books sold. What a fake pastor!
thomaskaine5 The military is bound by honor and pledge to the constitution to NOT obey ludicrous orders. If 50 states and the SC have certified the election, the sh**** emperor has no clothes. F him and flynn. Justice is coming, albeit exceedingly slow, having lost 312k+ souls and counting!
Democracy is Dead in the World most Free country USA. Fascism won’t take over.
realDonaldTrump - There are 400M guns in America, and many real patriots. The US Military only serves the Constitution, not a dictator. So go ahead and declare martial law and see what happens. Just make sure that you are ready to run away fast and far.
Even the suggestion of overthrowing the Democratic sovereignty of the USA by a marshall military siege of America should be viewed as 'Treason'.
This news source is as bad as CNN. There may very well be the need to impose martial law as our checks and balances are compromised. Trump won, no doubt
The military:
If anyone wants to send me $10 on cashapp for Christmas, I’d love that 😍 $AndreaBlouise 💚

The so called General in the red shirt is a traitor to this country talks snoutmartial law with a child in the WH
Isn't talk like that why we have the 2nd amendment and militias?
So does this mean that by association the Proud Boys are for fascism? If so, HAHAHAHAHA And FUCK THE PROUD BOYS
Where all the people laughing at me for saying trump supporters will riot if trump were to lose
Fake news, no he didn't.
'According to reports' is the alternative to 'Anonymous sources' both translate as 'We or someone we know made this up'. Sadly ignorant people believe everything they read with no ability to critical think.
Why the hell not, what is so wrong with an Election free of fraud and with you showing your identification? What are you scared of, I guess you are only scared if you have something to hide.

That's so cute the way he thinks the military will listen to him after he let Putin put a price on their heads. He's also a draft-dodger, and he complained about absentee voting when that's the only way most of them can even vote. I'm sure there are MAGAts in the ranks, but.
No. He didn't. This is an untrue tweet.
Let this sink in..a convicted felon and traitor Michael Flynn with Rudy Giuliani, and SidneyPowell was in an oval office meeting with the Schmuck realDonaldTrump arguing for martial law and in reality a coup. This is Republican Government today. Throw the fascist bast*rds out
To “overturn” 😂
Then there will just be dead martial law rebels. There’s no overturning a damn thing. His ass will be locked up and a story on American Greed soon enough
Let him try, he will be promptly removed.

Oh I thought we were already in martial law since March
Why don't we start inside the White House 1st
I had to check once more which country this was, thought this was African news. Hehehe America cannot critics African autocrats when they refuse to accept election results. Power is sweet they kick and scream when time is up. Some change constitution.
We couldn't impose martial law in Iraq with over a million military. Our population is more than a dozen times theirs at the time. It is entirely impossible to do here.
According to whose reports?
fake news
President Obama looks like a hero and ultra genius compared to this Trump-lump of traitorous dog crap we have now.
Trump is out of options.. he can threaten anything he wants.. he's done and reality will soon kick him out of the White House and it will be a wonderful day.
According to reports this is fake news
A coup would be illegal and would be grounds for having him impeached early. People need to relax, follow the laws, and accept Biden won/Trump lost.
25thAmendmentNow
Martial Law because you lost the election? Y'all really wanted a dictator, didn't you?...and you MAGAs called us crazy when we compared Trump to people like this:
Exactly!

Trumpers say they fear communism but what they really fear is totalitarianism. Yet Trump introduced totalitarian tactics (military in the streets, indoctrinating education, subverting elections, cronyism, attempted control of media etc...) So why did they accept fascism from him?

I hope we do have martial law. It will be better than living in a Socialist /Marxist/ communist regime

This is BS from biased media outlets. We must put a stop to media propaganda in this nation. They’re tearing the nation apart
StephenGlahn Is anybody going to address this? GOP?
He can just call the last hack attack a declaration of war of Russia on USA and then he can start a real war and Biden's presidency would be just one of its victims.
Look at all those maskless idiots!
We Demand Military Tribunals as we are SICK OF THE TREASONIST ACT. WE ARE NOT GOING ALLOW OUR FRAUD IN ANY ELECTION!!! WHO WANTS SOCIALISM? The same happened in Bolivia, Venezuela, Argentina...DOMINION CROOKED MACHINES DO IT OVER AN OVER...

Schmuck has now reportedly discussed--in the WH- imposing martial law to remain in power. this is sedition. Schmuck and those like Michael Flynn RudyGiuliani conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell involved in this coup attempt must be charged & prosecuted fully. TraitorTrump !
I’m pro Trump and I don’t think he’ll do it we need a plenary session of states with electoral vote power to straighten the record and right the course of this corrupt election. I refuse to accept the falsified results of this sham election. Prove us wrong!
Trump belongs in prison! So does everyone connected and associated with him!
anyone who supports this is should know its treason !!!
Weird how in the Times article, they cite 'according to persons briefed on the meeting' after every claim except for the martial law one. If any outlet is guilty of mixing fiction into fact, it's the NYT.
Desperation!! Running out of senseless schemes.

fakenews
Hey if blm can do it. So can the potus
That is a lie. The original report stated that Sidney Powell allegedly floated the idea of martial law and admitted they did not know whether Trump entertained the idea or not. This is misinformation, this is false reporting and whoever is responsible for it should be fired.
At what point is Fake news going to be equated to someone yelling fire in a movie theater? He literally came out last night to say there was never going to be Martial law. Yall are whipping people up into hysterics... Stop it.
Thank the baby Jesus that cooler, smarter heads prevailed over these treasonous despicable heinous crimes MartialLaw January20th2021
A free and fair election becomes totally impossible under martial law, considering the powers allocated to the presidency. The only way such an election can be free and fair is under international observers. It’s the way it was always done, is done and will always be done.....
Martial law already exists in America. It's called Coronavirus lockdowns and courts who rule in favor of it. Suppression of our Bill of Rights. So, globo pedo done goof by getting everyone use to 'limited' martial law. Reap what you sow craplibs. Insurrection Act now!
Last I checked this is called a military coup - why not call it as it is...cross the Rubicon and dictatorship of a leader for life
Bullshit
Biden claimed 13 million more votes than were eligible to vote. Simple math.
Of course he did but is now lying about it.
IF Trump is dumb enough to try to implement martial law like an autocrat trying to overthrow our democracy on fake baseless election claims he should be charge with treason and remove from office immediately and prosecuted, NOT ABOVE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Media doesn't say who won ..
You are reporting something from Nytimes?!?!? Since when has NY Times had a source included in Oval Office meetings?
the fictitious claim that trump suggested invoking martial law has been debunked by credible sources. no credible news agency is pretending it really happened.
First, the Troops took an Oath to the United States, NOT to a CRAZY Trump. Second, the Oath is to Protect and Defend our Nation against ALL enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Trump and MAGA are becoming Domestic Terrorists. The Military WILL destroy BOTH! votevets mil_insiders CNN
Bull....shit....all of it.

6 hours before you tweeted this, realDonaldTrump specifically debunked it. fakenews
It's not overturning when it was obviously stolen

Democrats would rather live under martial law then turn over voting machines for analysis despite the fact that they are confident there was nothing wrong with the machines for some reason they're totally against allowing them access to them.

TRUMP DID NOT RAISE THE IDEA OF MARTIAL LAW. IT WAS FLYNN AND POWELL WHO DID.
Trump is so desperate for power. Actually, it's not even about power, it's the protection that power gives him. He knows once his ass is out the door, he's a dead man. Or in prison at the very least.

thomaskaine5 NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
🤣🤣🤣 DonnieTheDictator
At noon 1.20.21 Biden could declare Martial Law and it would be HILARIOUS to watch the trump terrorists/brainwashed gun toting wipipo go to prison. Super good.
Trump would do ANYTHING to stay in the WH.
Dear Media, the gop is attempting a coup. History is clear about how fascists treat the media (silence, jail, torture, kill), even if you've 'been nice/fair' to them like foxnews or maggieNYT. This isn't normal. There is no both-sides. This is an existential threat to America.
Not to overturn an election...but to make sure the election was free and fair.
He said it was fake news overnight. Which means unfortunately that it is definitely on the table.

Do it. Actually do something. I don't care anymore. None of it matters anyways. Common ground is gone. We're never getting it back.
Not Treason. It's his right. You can't steal an election silly demonrats!

No he didn’t. The media wants the country to get up n arms about something again because the ratings or down.
Liberals are Degenerate Terrorists 😊
Well, we've had a lot of presidents, some good, some bad, now we can add a seditious traitor to the presidential pokedex. Thankfully, a *majority* of the nation voted for a much better man to replace him in January. We're all waiting patiently for 45s turn to end, and it *will*.

Call it wild if you like (the idea of martial law to overturn the election, ETC.), but it's been in all the rooms, shedding on the furniture and soiling the carpets for *a while*, now.
'according to reports' yet Trump tweeting saying IT was fake news hours ago and you still ran the article? FAKE NEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Desperate measures sought by a desperate man. His pathology has infected far more people than COVID19 TrumpTreason
Trump would never do anything like that he's a trust worthy character he tries to do everything the right way

The POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT has committed Treason!!! It’s time to fire everyone and start clean.
Trump and Flynn are traitors to the United State of America. At one time traitors were dealt with very harshly. Maybe we need to bring that punishment back.
I support Trumps fake news idea
Fake news ,but in history it has been done many times ,
Ridiculous! How about they report on JoeBiden corruption and how he’s owned by the Chinese...be fair
Fake news! Our great president would never say or do this!
Trump doesn't let me enjoy my life in twitter every time I read the news
...just another stupid idea from this incompetent president. Times up...just leave. We need to move on and forward.
When is this martial law suppose to take place so we have time to prepare i sure hope trump finds his way to prison
This is going to be the longest 30 days...
The sooner it finishes falling apart, the sooner we can rebuild. We can arise a more courteous, health conscious, inclusive nation when 95% of the country is dead from covid. If we work hard enough, we can have equal rights and protections under the law for all citizens.
Biden is the treasonous one. He and his family are the ones profiting from deals with foreign countries. The three harddrives with video footage of Hunter's sexual pursuits are perverse. Especially his involvement with children. Trump needs to clean house!
As he should!

He is NOT overturning anything - he was rightfully voted in and BIDEN tried to steal the vote - he won - so nothing to overturn. Biden needs to go to jail for this and MANY other acts of corruption - FAKE NEWS!!
For the 3rd time in as many days BI has published an article with no sources, no coraboration, no facts and, lets be real, a whole lot of lies. Other than nut bag Flynn, everyone in that meeting said it never happened. Another fine journalism example by the left.
How about reporting what is actually going on properly. There was election fraud followed up by media lies.
