Trump threatens military coup if House gets too aggressive |
|

Posted by AlM on Thu Mar 14 20:09:53 2019 I don't see how else to read this.'So here's the thing—it's so terrible what's happening,' Trump told Breitbart News in an Oval Office interview published on Thursday, when asked about House Democrats' hardball investigation tactics. 'You know, the left plays a tougher game, it's very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don't play it tougher. Okay?' he said. 'I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don't play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad,' Trump continued. |

Well, what do you think he is suggesting? How is he thinking the army would have a role if the House becomes too aggressive?In theory he could have the army occupy the House and keep it from meeting and rule by decree, but I don't see that kind of maneuver working in the US. |

"...but I don't see that kind of maneuver working in the US."I agree. Just another case of Trump shooting his mouth off again. Anyone who believes that he could pull off a "military coup" if, say he loses in 2020 or if an impeachment boots him out of the White House truly has a weak grip on reality, to put it mildly. |

And it threatens some degree of violent disruption, something Congress and the courts do not. What's worse is it shows a utter disregard for the rule of law....the very thing at the core of civilization. It's not the kind of rhetoric we should be tolerating, especially from someone in the position involving leadership. |

I know of nobody in the Democratic Party that's seeking any variety of violence, much less a full blown war. Whatever became of the rule of law? |

If you click the link to the Breitbart article you get a little more context. Daily Mail didn't quote the entire thing and the original sounds less ominous. He appears to be stating that democrats use all resources available and by any means and if republicans did the same thing they have lots more resources. But he could mean a coup. I dunno. |

Well, all those who stayed home in the last election have to go out & vote him out of office in 2020. Face it, he's not going to get impeached. Pelosi & Co know they don't have enough on Donald to pull off an impeachment. Bottom line, don't like Trump? Then put your vote where your mouth is & send him home. Thats the American way. |

We as a nation need to remain aware that this is NOT normal behavior out of anyone, much less someone who stumbled in a position of power. We must stop accepting this from our leaders, until we can get rid of them.So many are observing the normalization of behavior such as this. It is a real and present danger, not only here, but all over the world. Look at what happened in New Zealand and Brazil (who elected a similarly defined RW nationalist type). |

I think there actually wasn't any thought behind it. It's not actually a threat to send the military in to shut down the House if they get uppity; it just sounds that way.

He's been more productive in 2 1/4 years that Dolt44 was in 8. The manusa Turing jobs that obama said we're not coming back, are. The 2% growth Obama said was the new normal is now over 3%. The unemployment is now down to 3.8% and all Dolt44 can do is try to take credit for what Trump and his policies have accomplished. |
