Substack: purges just first steps to Trump totalitarianism

Donald Trump is dying of coronary artery disease so Step 3 in the following excerpt from Jack Hopkins' The Exposed Nation: Why Trump May Be Setting America Up for Attack...On Purpose might be JD Vance ordering a hit to be the crisis, shock and panic.

Let’s run the scenario forward. You’ll see how neatly the pieces align:

Step 1: Purge the prosecutors, watchdogs, and generals who might resist. (Already happening.)

Step 2: Fill the gaps with loyalists who won’t raise alarms. (Already happening.)

Step 3: Allow an external strike—terror, cyber, border, or sabotage.

Step 4: Let the country reel in shock. Citizens panic. Markets collapse.

Step 5: Step forward as the only “strong” figure promising order.

Step 6: Demand emergency powers, martial law, suspension of elections, “temporary” authoritarian control.

Step 7: Never let go.
