Trump Is Not President or Commander In Chief As Claimed by Some
Yes, he is the dually elected President, which was stolen in a coup. But that’s not what I am debating here.
There is a lot of talk these days on the speculation that Donald Trump is still the acting President and Commander in Chief (CIC). I’ve heard everything from Joe Biden is in control of the “corporation” and Trump is in charge of the “military” to Joe Biden is a clone and has never been to the White House
We are in a time of great seriousness for our county. This means that the truth must triumph. There is massive battle of psychological and asymmetrical warfare going on and it is being directed at the American people. In the coming weeks and months we the people need to use a large amount of discernment with the information provided.
Don’t simply believe something because someone says it or claims an insider told them. Don’t accept what you hear because your hope outweighs your desire to know. Research, investigate, find the source, find the foundation of truth and Pearl string it together.
Recently in the past few years there have been multiple theories why Donald Trump is still President, from Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs) and Executive Orders he passed to certain international events and Joe Biden’s seemingly lack of authority and presence in DC.
All of these deserve a thorough investigation and should not be passed off as truth or fiction unless we can without a shadow or a doubt verify that this is what is really happening.
A little about me, I was active duty United States Navy for just under 10 years. I held a Top Secret clearance and worked in Washington DC my last tour of duty. I currently have friends and acquaintances that are active duty, some that work in DC at the Pentagon and others who are close to Congressmen and Senators.
I am well researched and tend to deep dive into information to understand its foundation. When in Washington DC my last years in the military I studied Military and Civil Law. I did this for many reasons but most notably it was the beginning of the Obama era and my military had began to turn on me after an injury and was making moves to remove me from service. I saw first hand how the bureaucracy operated and how they eliminated those patriots who questioned various authority.
Recently I cohosted a show with James Grundvig on American Media Periscope and we had a guest named Derek Johnson. Derek has a theory that Donald Trump is still President and a Commander In Chief. He has provided a sourced document with the reasoning for these theories. I disagree with Derek Johnson’s theory. On the episode I gave a few points of logic as to why and due to time constraints I was unable to make my case. That is one of the reasons for this blog. As a side note, I cordially invite Derek on my show to discuss all of this.
Why do I think Derek is wrong? Below you will find my rebuttal and fact checking of Derek’s theory.
Here is Derek’s page of claims, I will go through them and outline where you can validate where he is wrong, incorrect or just not accurate

“Let’s Go Americans 👇
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid. This is succinctly stated as follows: "All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." Marbury vs. Madison 1803, 5 U.S. (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176.
President Trump signed the most monumental Executive Order 13848 in United States History on September 12, 2018.”
Yes, he is correct for LAW. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and we have a system of legal checks and balances to validate this. Even though in this day and age this has been violated massively by Congress and the system is broken. This stems from changes to the structure of law derived in the Act of 1871.
Next he states that Trump signed a monumental Executive Order on September 12th 2018. That he did, it is an executive order, not LAW.
As stated by the Federal Office of Public Health “Executive Orders state mandatory requirements for the Executive Branch, and have the effect of law. They are issued in relation to a law passed by Congress or based on powers granted to the President in the Constitution and must be consistent with those authorities.”.
This statement reflects the SCOTUS decision on DACA where Trump tried to rescind an Obama era EO. SCOTUS didn’t not validate the legality of DACA but did show that it was more of an administrative policy and Congress has the right to act on it to enforce it through law.
Part 2
“Inside FOUR major events were outlined:
1. Declared a National Emergency. By Federal Law, National Emergencies must be addressed by Congress. It was not addressed. Covid-19 was not mentioned until February 4, 2020, at the State of the Union Address, FIRST by President Trump, so, how did he know to issue a National Emergency in September 2018 to activate on November 3, 2020?
National Emergencies defined:
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2020-title50/html/USCODE-2020-title50-c hap34-subchapII-sec1622.htm
War and National Defense:
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2020-title50/pdf/USCODE-2020-title50-ch ap34-subchapII-sec1622.pdf”
Congress has delegated at least 136 distinct statutory emergency powers to the President, each available upon the declaration of an emergency. Only 13 of these require a declaration from Congress; the remaining 123 are assumed by an executive declaration with no further Congressional input.[ 2]
“so, how did he know to issue a National Emergency in September 2018 to activate on November 3, 2020?” Ummm, what? Sorry Derek, what are you talking about here? The National Emergency Declared on September 12th 2018 (https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-13848-imposing-certain-sanctions-the-event-foreign-interference-united) is about Election Interference, titled Executive Order 13848—Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election. NOWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT does it mention November 3rd 2020 or COVID.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency on January 31, 2020, under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d), in response to COVID–19. (See Here) So yes, it was mentioned well before Feb 4th.
Thanks for the links, but there is no context to why you posted them besides to show what a National Emergency is. If you want to make a point, highlight and annotate. Take screen shots to validate what you are saying. If there is mention of November 3rd 2020 in that EO, please show us with a screen shot or reference.
Part 3
“2. Declared Maritime Law. He specifically put the date of November 3, 2020, as the activation date of Maritime Law on September 12, 2018. If there's no such thing as Voter Fraud, which first became a topic in the 'news' in December 2020, then how did President Trump know to put the specific date of November 3, 2020, inside the September 2018 Executive Order? #MilitaryIntel
Do you wonder why there's shortages everywhere? Maritime Law equals the law of the Water. Maritime Law is why no foreign goods will enter the United States as specified in the 13848 Order, hence why the ships are guarded at the port cities and crates have not been delivered to warehouses.
Executive Orders = Automatic Law.
All it takes is a little reading:
Admiralty Maritime Law explained
Chapter 1, Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations; Dept of Homeland Security: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/33/2.32
Convention of the High Seas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_High_Seas
National Ocean Service:
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/lawofsea.html”
Declared Maritime Law. He specifically put the date of November 3, 2020, as the activation date of Maritime Law on September 12, 2018……
Huh? “Declared Maritime Law doesn’t even make sense. You don’t declare a “Maritime Law”. Maritime Law is a set of laws which according to the Coast Guard… “Maritime law consists of substantive rules created by federal courts, referred to as “general maritime law”, which do not arise from the Constitution or legislation of the U.S. However, the federal courts' power to create these rules does arise from the Constitution's grant of admiralty jurisdiction,” (https://coast.noaa.gov/data/Documents/OceanLawSearch/Summary%20of%20Law%20-%20Admiralty%20Law.pdf)
“how did President Trump know to put the specific date of November 3, 2020, inside the September 2018” -
Again, wtf are you talking about? This date is mentioned nowhere in the EO. Please show us where this date is mentioned in the EO?
“Do you wonder why there's shortages everywhere? Maritime Law equals the law of the Water. Maritime Law is why no foreign goods will enter the United States as specified in the 13848 Order, hence why the ships are guarded at the port cities and crates have not been delivered to warehouses.” -……
Who was “guarding them? No one. Standard Coastie patrols. The shortage at the ports was NOT due to implementation of Maritime Law but instead due to the destruction of supply chain by globalists and the mass violations of regulations from politicians. Has nothing to do with Maritime Law. Stop listening to Charlie.
Why would they guard goods at the port and just let them sit there while America suffers? This makes no sense. As well, this is not what happened. Ports were taking in these goods, just slower than normal because of a reduction in work force, broken equipment due to supply chain delays, deferred maintenance and most importantly, the fear of COVID.
“Executive Orders = Automatic Law.”
No they don’t! Not even close. Go read the definitions above. An Executive Order CANNOT EXPAND the Power of the President as defined in Article II. CONGRESS as per Article I, “The Constitution grants Congress the sole authority to enact legislation and declare war, the right to confirm or reject many Presidential appointments, and substantial investigative powers.” In other words, ONLY CONGRESS CAN PASS LEGISLATION that become LAWS.
“3 and 4. The Election Fraud Committee and Secretary of State. President Trump specifically put the dates of activation in which they would report.
45 days after November 3, 2020, which was January 5, 2021, and 45 days after that... which is March 3, 2021. - Context? Yes he did and your MATH is wrong. This 45 days after the election is actually December 18th 2020. This actually makes sense since the States certify their election results on the 11th of December and then are sent to the Governor for verification which gives them 7 days. This is done before being sent to Congress which verifies the electors on January 6th. The 45 days that the DNI is supposed to release the reports is meant to provide Congress with appropriate info to make a reasonable determination. The problem here is that this did not happen. The DNI didn’t release his report until January 18th which did show Foreign Election Interference.
“The International Emergency Economic Powers Act which is a United States federal law authorizing the president to regulate international commerce after declaring a national emergency in response to any unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States.
IEEPA at Congress:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/95th-congress/house-bill/7738
IEEPA Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Emergency_Economic_Powers_Act
It further authorizes the president, after such a declaration, to block transactions and freeze assets to deal with the threat. In the event of an actual attack on the United States, the president can also confiscate property connected with a country, group, or person that aided in the attack.”
Yes it does. Under the EO 13848, if found by review of the report that Election Interference occurred, the PRESIDENT can implement the actions of this law. For example Joe Biden just used this same law in EO’s 14024, 14046, 14059 and 14064. The President in the law is an arbitrary definition meant for the “one in power” not the one who signs the EO.
The IEEPA falls under the provisions of the National Emergencies Act (NEA), which means that an emergency declared under the act must be renewed annually to remain in effect.
National Emergencies Act:
The Act empowers the President to activate special powers during a crisis but imposes certain procedural formalities when invoking such powers. The perceived need for the law arose from the scope and number of laws granting special powers to the executive in times of national emergency. Congress can terminate an emergency declaration with a joint resolution enacted into law.
NEA Congress:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/94th-congress/house-bill/3884
NEA Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act
Notice this clause: “emergency declared under the act must be renewed annually to remain in effect.”
The whole reason a National Emergency was issued was due to Foreign Interference with Elections... laymans for Hillary did not dump enough votes and Biden dumped too many.
Why would Biden extend this Executive Order as he did last September 9, 2021, that’s going to damn his administration?
The deadline is September 11, 2022.
One of two things must happen. Either the evil players must own up to all of the hundreds of years of corruption via money laundering, rigged riots, corporate wars, rigged wars, trafficking, and Covid as a Biochemical Weapon.
OR
Admit the Election was rigged and stolen via Cyber Warfare.
Whichever plea bargain they took in October 2016... they will still meet the punishment for the level of their corruption at Gitmo... it will just determine if they show the public or not based on what each evil player chose.””—
Ummm, deadline has passed bro, you were wrong… you said it yourself “why would Biden RENEW this EO”. If he wasn’t President why did he renew it? Reason, midterms were coming up. Think genius! Also, EO are extended through multiple Presidencies. Carter singed on on Blocking Iranian Government Property on November 14th 1979, so does that mean Carter has power over this EO? No, that authority passed to the newly designated President as determined by Electors, States and certified by Congress.
“Which is why on November 3, 2020, President Trump issued a Presidential Emergency, known as a PEAD, a Presidential Emergency Active Document. The only people who can know what's in that Document are the President and Military Generals. However, based on the Law and Order from 2017 up to that date along with Military Regulations, Optics, Symbolism, and Visual Operations... A Veteran or person like myself can tell you what's in that Document based on those up to that day.” ———“PEADs are interesting not easily understood. “The only people who can know what's in that Document are the President and Military Generals”
Not necessarily true. The President can read anyone into a PEAD. Think of them like Special Access Programs for Executive Orders. As well, every President has the authority to review PEADs and change them if they desire. The key to understanding PEADs is that they cannot expand the Constitutional powers of the President under Article 1 of the Constitution. Although rumor has circulated that some have, for instance Directive 51 signed by Bush Jr. allows for the suspension of due process and the detention of American citizens that could interrupt the Continuity of Government (COG). Your next part “A Veteran or person like myself can tell you what's in that Document based on those up to that day.”. I’m assuming you were an enlisted soldier? Enlisted people know shit. I know this because I was one. I worked on Advanced Weapon Systems, when it comes to Command and Control, aspects of politics, enlisted people know nothing. So if you know something on this, please enlighten us with sourced details because we have no idea what you are talking about here. It just feels you are trying to validate your research through your military service. If so, provide context.
A few points of reference here…
1. Military law does NOT trump constitutional law. Only when a service member joins the military does he waive various constitutional freedoms. See 10USC Ch 47.
2. PEADs are not law. They can be annotated, amended and changed during each new administration by the President. Every President has access to them when they are in power.
3. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that all executive orders from the president of the United States must be supported by the Constitution, whether from a clause granting specific power, or by Congress delegating such to the executive branch. If you remember DACA, this is one that Trump contested and it went to the SCOTUS. SCOTUS determined that only CONGRESS has such a right and an EO is not determined to be law or policy but instead a direction of the administration or a guidelines.
4. Joe Biden signed 17 Executive Orders on January 22nd 2021, among these he killed energy independence, border wall and Trump era immigration policy. All of which have produced the situation we are in today. If Joe is not President, belligerent or not, how was he able to do this with such effect?
5. Appointments of a DNI, SecDef and Generals. Biden has appointed the heads of all the Departments and Trump era appoints have been replaced.
The Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin orders that all military get the vaccine including Space Force. Most complied, the others who didn’t are fighting massive legal battles. Service members are dying from this bioweapon and we are expected to believe Donald Trump would allows this to happen as CIC?
DNI and DOJ are lead by Trump appointees who are holding up Trump era DECLASS and are weaponizing the DOJ. Need I say more!?
General Charles Flynn, although approved as General by Trump and Senate was appointed to Army PacCom after Trump, by Biden.
“On January 25, 2021, the Department of Defense announced that Flynn will be the next commander of the United States Army Pacific at Fort Shafter in Honolulu.[7] He assumed that command in a change of command ceremony at Fort Shafter, Hawaii on June 4, 2021.[8]”
Derek claims that Trump is the President under the Law of War manual.
The “Law of War Manual” is a manual. Not law. It has no legal precedence or recourse. It states right inside the manual that is a guide for the Defense Department and allies.
13 Gun Salute To Biden?
You must mean this one video you watched on Youtube where it shows 13 cannon shots.
Well here is the full version…just after 5 minutes is where they start.
I have shown enough already to prove that Derek’s claims are false and misleading. That they are not based on fact but just bad research and a misunderstanding of EO, PEADs, Laws and how government works.
If anyone wants to submit their research on this matter, if we have made mistakes here, please feel free to let us know. We are more than happy to correct ourselves and update this.
It is our theory that Trump has loyalists in the military. That there was a Special Access Program opened by the end of 2020 for an investigation into the election and to gather evidence on the Deep State. That does not equate to Trump still having the power of the President. There have been no indications of this or evidence to support this. If there is, please provide it to us. Other than speculation, “anonymous insiders”, we have seen nothing.
At the end of the day we are all in this together. We are on the same team and all trying to save this country. We must work together to do this. We must unite to do this. I find it important to look at evidence like this that has the potential to give false hope, to make people think there is a hidden savior. This to me is a way to mislead people into sitting back and no taking action. It appears to be a tactic of psychological warfare. I truly think Derek is a good guy with good intentions. I wish him the best and hope that he goes through his own research and updates it, annotates what needs references, screenshots claims and changes his theory if new evidence is presented.
