Leah wrote earlier about how President Trump had threatened to "send in the feds" if Chicago doesn't clean up its act, and now some people are going Berzerk* on Twitter, fretting that the president is going to impose "Marshall Law."
@kprosh89 also here- threatening to send in the feds? #MarshallLaw #WTF or is it because the #ChicagoMayor said something he disliked? https://t.co/4HderzeoCI

While I doubt that Trump is actually The Monster or Bad Guy that people think he is, the initial tweet had people quite afraid that he'd be sending a Soldier or two to the Windy City. Unfortunately, White America (and, well, America in general--Must Be The Ganja?) isn't the best at spelling, which led to some confusion as to how "martial law" is spelled. Either way, people were Just Lose(ing) It on Twitter at the possibility of Trump actually "sending in the feds," with a typo of Phenomenal proportions.
Granted, I don't think that Trump would want his Legacy to include martial law. He's shown in his Campaign Speeches that he's Not Afraid to push the envelope and say some pretty controversial things--but this would be an act of extreme Desperation. It'd be a Brainless move, so to speak.
Everyone needs to Calm Down, and maybe pick up a dictionary to learn how to properly spell homophones.
