In reality this may have worked. We are under Military Laws and Orders, Devolution, etc. Trump is running the show. It's why when you see his 'rants' about "maybe so and so is next! maybe we need to look into X Y Z!" he can brace you for what's coming. Everything he's talking about is going to happen. There is some clause where to the public it has to maintain some sense of normalcy for the time being to not expose the situation. For example, Colbert's show was officially terminated on July 17th, and Kimmel was official September 17th. You will notice this pattern.
