Trump knows (yes, even he knows) that the military and cops (they swear an oath to the Constitution and would have resisted a outright, blatant coup attempt) would have met them with overwhelming force. Add to that a lot of his following are fat cowards themselves and wouldn't have responded with the kind of violence necessary to overwhelm trained military that was standing guard for a war. So he tried to slyly set up a kind of sneak attack and one that would grant him some level of plausible deniability. And here we are. He is dangerous. Giving this traitor another turn in the White House is a spin of the roulette wheel for American freedom and rule of law. He's already told us he'd like to see parts of the Constitution "terminated" and that it'd be better if we lived in better times like the times where someone like Gen. Milley could be "executed". He's a scum bag. Turn away from him. He's bad for the country. Just stop.
