    Not exactly winning the hearts and minds of the military by golfing while the bodies of service members are repatriating.

      He’s not interested in winning any hearts and minds legitimately. Those are “easy come, easy go” they will desert him as soon as he does any of the bad things he has planned. They’re useless to him.

      He’s trying to find the people that are fully devoted to him, mind and soul. The ones who will support him to the end, and follow his orders when he tells them to shoot at protests. The ones who will obey when he tells them to arrest the opposition. The ones who will defend him when he announces he’s not leaving the White House just because some court or election said he has to. Those are the people he’s going to spend the next 4 years shopping for, so he can put them in every position of power he can.

      I agree with OP. I think he is preparing an actual coup attempt. This is how those things go. Will he succeed? I don’t know. I certainly hope not. But don’t underestimate him, or his ambitions.

        His true believers fled the second shots were fired on J6 and there aren’t enough of them to form an army anyway.

        But you’re right to never underestimate him.
