I am very concerned that Trump may attempt to use the Military to stay in office. Why else would he fire the Secretary of Defense and purge the top officials at the Pentagon? This is not the behavior of someone who intends to leave office in two months. As surreal as it sounds, Trump may be planning a military coup. I hope I am wrong, but I would put nothing past this deranged narcissist.

(1,648 posts)If the order is illegal and unconstitutional. All below the 'appointed leadership' have sworn an oath to disobey and reject illegal and unconstitutional orders, and they do not have the support of the military and would face an immediate backlash and blow back within right off the bat.
Especially after what tRUMP has done and said about soldiers and military around the world. The fools don't realize they won't get followers when their leaders make fun of them as mindless props, shit all over them, treat them like personal servants, sacrifice and gut them for their own personal vanity and political goals, lets them take the blame, and has a history of selling out those who supported them.

(713 posts)I do not think the Military would go along, but Trump is delusional to the point where he might try. Why else is he purging the top leadership at the Pentagon? Clearly Trump is up to something.
