Excuse me? Trump has said he will “go after their families” of terrorists and “bring back things worse than water boarding”. Those things are war crimes and if he was to order the military to do those things it would be an illegal order. He doesn’t seem to care.

Here’s another article with lots of examples of his disdain for rule of law.

No you do not have to be a “delusional paranoid” you just have to be aware of the consequences of Trump’s own words to be extremely worried.
