Korean president has very low approve rating and is quite unsophisticated in political operation. The martial law drama was widely considered stupid move by the president.
Trump II on the other hand is much more experienced and thoughtful in executing his playbook. America has a lower chance coming back from authoritarian, and the sacrifice needed to pull this off will be vast.
If Trump declared martial law with the flimsiest of excuses you’d get millions of Americans saying, “About time he stopped pussyfooting around!”
