The optics of this meeting are extremely abhorrent, but I suspect this is empty posturing.  

There's a lawyer on Twitter named T. Greg Doucette who has spent the last couple of weeks discussing these scenarios at length.  He seems adamant that this is a non-starter.

Academically, I realize this is empty nonsense and/or Trump being a man incapable of considering anything other than his own sense of self.  My issue is that this shows significantly more than zero people in this country are very amenable to the notion of discarding democracy in favor of what they deem a productive totalitarian system.  I'm bummed.
