I think if Trump hadn’t have backed out at the last minute he could have had a coup today, easily. It would have kicked off a civil war to be sure, but he had a shot.
If he wasn’t such a chicken shit idiot he could have done it.
Crisis averted I guess.
Trump actually got all he wanted. He wanted to feel loved. Because he is a deeply flawed human being who can’t even imagine his wife grieving for him if he were to die. Having never known love, and having lost his identity as a “success” in November, and “deal maker” over the weekend, he was about ready to do anything if they’d let him. But he felt loved by the big crowd, so he was appeased. And he went home to sleep the most comfortably he’s slept in months. With no thoughts of whether the mob would force Pence to sign over America at gunpoint or if the cops would just mow down his supporters in droves. Because they actually mean nothing to him.
