Ex-Obama Official Suggests ‘Military Coup’ Against Trump

In a blog post for Foreign Policy magazine, Rosa Brooks, a former Obama administration official, outlined four ways to get rid of President Trump, including declaring him mentally unfit for command or carrying out a military coup. Brooks is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation, which is funded by billionaire George Soross Open Society Foundations. She served from 2009-2011 as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and served as a senior adviser at Obamas State Department.
Her posting is titled 3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020, although the piece actually outlines four ways.
In what seems to be a deliberate tactic, Brooks repeatedly questions Trumps mental stability, claiming that the presidents first week in office has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared.
Brooks, who is not a mental health professional, offered no evidence for her armchair psychological evaluation other than citing policies that she doesnt like.

I get your point and agree. But sometimes for a coup to be successful all that needs to happen is get the key players on board.

Well we do for sure and many others but we have seen treason go unpunished since the Vietnam war at least. Kerry and Jane Fonda being prime examples. I know the new administration has a lot on its plate right now but at some point this has to be addressed.

If this is allowed to continue, precedent is set.
Time to act. This is BS
To: Resettozero
Is there anything more evil than a military seizure of the civilian government? It just shows how crazy, irresponsible and evil these leftists are and that they HATE America.

Isn’t sedition illegal, and specified as such in the Constitution? Not that this zero has ever read it.

This is all because Trump interfered in their plan to overthrow America with millions of illegals. She just shows their hand. It’s not silly or ridiculous, they are dangerous. The left always is.

Well, this is a new one .. they used assassination for GW Bush. It was all they talked about.
Now, we have our precious military tasked to do the job .. which is really funny; seeing as how the military is 100% in Trump’s camp.
These liberals are really SICK IN THE HEAD.
As much as I didn’t like the Clinton/Obama presidents; it never entered my mind that we should get rid of them.

"Proposing the violent overthrow of the government. And not in jail?"No, because the Obama ex-official is obviously insane. This will not happen -- or is about as likely as space aliens kidnapping Trump and whisking him away.
