      Well, this is new. Trump told his acting Secretary of Defense to use military force for what purpose? Miller: Trump said "do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights." Occurs in their Jan. 3 meeting. pic.twitter.com/jnEDYVUzsK

      why would this be more evidence he was "going for it" in the 'coup' sense? wouldn't this also be consistent with him just wanting to make sure there was a big beautiful rally in his honor?

      Trump's assumption I think was that there would be counterprotesters and the ensuing violence would would legitimize military takeover.

          Absolutely. And anti fascist organizers saw right through his plan and told counterprotesters to stay the hell out of DC on the 6th

          If Trump thought ANTIFA was showing up to defend the honor of Joe Biden's election it was because someone in law enforcement planted the idea in his head. Anyone with half a brain knew they were never going to show.

          I think you are right. I believe he thought he could do a military coup and get away with it and the majority would support him. He came closer than a lot of people think.
