It makes more sense to me that it would be about something goofy.
The point here is the power struggle.
If you don't have an issue to believe in, then it is just about whether or not you have the ability to seize power and reset the balance.
If you are challenging the constitutional order for a moral principle then the moral principle might get resolved, defusing the challenge.
Why would you confuse the issue by making it about some kind of higher principle that might hamstring you that way?
But it's nuts.
Madison v Marshall is bedrock US constitution, as is the principle that the judiciary interprets the law and the executive accedes to that interpretation.
You can't go anywhere challenging that. You simply end up with a stars-and-stripes version of Russia or Hungary.
Trump doesn't have the popular support to take it anywhere. There will be backlash and his balance of support in Congress and in popular voting support is small. If he does overturn the republic and make himself King Trump, how long does that shit last before the backlash overwhelms him????
If you have a crisis - i.e. the economic collapse of Germany in the 1930's - you can present yourself as a necessary saviour. But you need the crisis and an ideology to focus and rally support.
