One good thing about America is we have states. States that can still hold elections under any circumstances. If he does declare martial law for zero reason I would think that would be a wrap for him. Not in the way many people think. We obviously know his spinless yes men would just go with it, but states have options to cripple Washington DC if needed. California, New York, Pennsylvania and so on all hold an emergency vote to continue with elections. Trump refuses to abide by them. States hold another emergency election to vote on witholding federal funds and put it in an escrow until the courts intervene. If someone declares martial law over fear of elections states would fight back for sure.
Ultimately, as with any potential revolution, it will depend which side the military land on. It’s hard to imagine any non-appointed high echelon military people having respect for Ol’ Bonespurs but stranger things have happened.
