This is not a hoax.
In March, the President gave himself the power to nationalize any industry and confiscate any and all private property, all food, water, gas, raw materials, anything and everything, and best of all, there is no definite trigger, he can just declare he needs to do it.
I don't see anywhere in the document where he consults with Congress. He can order people to work for the executive departments as he sees fit.
