Please. There was no coup attempt. Trump never called for a violent overthrow of the government. Read his actual words, not what the liberal media distorted and claimed he said.
However a simple google search however indicates a coup does not have to be violent

A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/ (
listen); French for "blow of state"), usually shortened to coup,[1] (also known as an overthrow)
is a seizure and removal of a government and its powers. Typically, it
is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction,
military, or a dictator.[2] Many scholars consider a coup successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.[2]
Britannica
The chief prerequisite for a coup is control of all or part of the armed forces, the police, and other military elements. Unlike a revolution, which is usually achieved by large numbers of people working for basic social, economic, and political change, a coup is a change in power from the top that merely results in the abrupt replacement of leading government personnel.
Cambridge Dictionary
A sudden illegal, often violent, taking of government power, especially by part of an army:
For all of his bluster and rhetoric, Trump accepted the results of the election. There's really nothing more to it.
ReplyDeleteHe never accepted!
ReplyDeleteHe is still claiming it was stolen and he is still president
ReplyDeleteClaiming it was stolen is not a coup. I'm sorry you've been so thoroughly brainwashed.
ReplyDeleteHe left the White House, and he's not directing the military or holding cabinet meetings or directing any federal agencies.
ReplyDeleteDespite all his talk, he accepted the election.
Trying to overturn the outcome while claiming it was stolen is an attempted coup!
ReplyDeleteNope!
ReplyDeleteNo, a coup is where you actually seriously threaten the function of government. And don't claim a 1 hour occupation of the Capitol is such a thing. A coup is where the army announces it's in charge and arrests the legitimate leadership. This was a badly planned riot that spun out of some comments he made.
ReplyDeleteAs for his claims, he can claim what he wants. The Woke Folk claim all Whites are racist. The Arabs claim Israel is committing genocide. But suddenly it's a crime for him to claim he's president?
Total loss of reality. And you have just proved that up is really down - words have no meaning except what you want them to mean!
ReplyDeletesome Woke /some arabs are delusional (whilst some are realistic)
ReplyDeleteTrump is delusional, he thinks he is still president and that power is something that is rightfully his, and hence he can retake it by fair means or foul. Can such a person be trusted to run the white house?
