He calls the Mueller investigation "an attempted coup to overthrow the government!"


"They tried for a coup, it didn't work out so well. And I didn't need a gun for that one, did I?" Trump told the crowd of gun-rights advocates at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Indianapolis on Friday. "All was taking place at the highest levels in Washington, D.C. You've been watching, you've been seeing.”
"Spying, surveillance. Trying for an overthrow," Trump continued. "And we caught them, we caught them. Who would have thought in our country?"

This kind of inflammatory rhetoric can be dangerous, as he's planted a seed in tiny Trumpling minds.

Kinda like if I said, "Don't think of an orange swine."

That image instantly pops into mind.

Trump is right.

Would it be OK if it were done to Obama?

He’s right, it was an attempted coup. There should be some heads rolling.

Drama... A coup would be an attempt (usually violently by the military arm) to overthrow the entire government.... Trump is not the entire government. Investigation and possible impeachment doesn't equate to a coup... no more than Nixon's presidency ended in a coup.

If anything.. Pence would have been sworn in as president and things continue on.... pretty much very little governing would have changed.

Just an obvious point I should bring up here:

If it was a coup, tRump would have been railroaded.

He wasn't.

He's skated after committing actions that would have any of the rest of us standing trial.

Think about it.

Yeah we get it.
The truth is dangerous.
That's why the intel people won't share it with the people.

Sources and methods.
Intel people are the source and the method is to keep secrets so we don't know the truth. Then we catch them lying repeatedly to us and congress. Clapper, Brennan, and Comey.

The party of Trump calls for justice. Let the show trials begin. Will Stephen Miller be the new Vishinsky?
