The Armchair Soothsayer says...

Armchair Soothsayer

Yesterday Mr. Trump was highly critical of the military leadership in the Pentagon. He basically called them “warmongers” and tools of the defense industry. Trump continued with this line of thinking to claim the military brass didn’t like him.

Prior to his comments, the head of the Joint Chiefs made it clear in a public statement, that the military would not intervene in the elections at all.

Trump went on to claim that the soldiers themselves still loved him. Thus, he was setting up a rift between the command structure at the top, and the enlisted men that make up the fighting force of the US military.

This leads the Armchair Soothsayer to venture out onto the “Limb of Prognostication.”

Trump will claim the election is fraudulent and that he actually won. He will say fake ballots were used to show him loosing. He will instruct the military, and every other law enforcement entity under his control, to come to his aid as he nullifies the election.

Trump, in his confusion and madness, believes he can split the command leadership of the military from the men they command. Simply put, he will attempt a Coup d'état. It will never materialize and will fail miserably. Yet, the confusion and damage to our democratic process will be great.

This was either a vision of the future, are the effects of too much caffeine. Only time will tell.
