Obama Pentagon Official Says Anti-Trump Military Coup Now Possible Says Trump ‘as crazy as everyone feared’; claims military overthrow and ‘an insane order’ both ‘frightening’
By Carlo Muñoz - February 2, 2017.
A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump from power.
In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive presidents in American history.
“Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” Ms. Brooks wrote. “[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders.”
For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, “I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ‘No, sir. We’re not doing that.’”
Ms. Brooks‘ editorial comes as a recent poll by Public Policy Polling group found that 40 percent of registered voters support Mr. Trump’s impeachment. In addition, 52 percent of voters polled said they would rather have President Obama in the Oval Office, opposed to the 43 percent who support the Trump presidency.
In the editorial, Ms. Brooks noted that Mr. Trump’s “thin-skinned, erratic, and unconstrained” approach to defense matters of defense could put top U.S. military leaders in a position where they would be forced to execute orders that may be “dangerously unhinged” from a basic understanding of national security.

From Rosa Brooks bio: Special Counsel to the President at the Open Society Institute, George Soros’ philanthropic foundation.
Some people will get in bed with anyone or anything.
Obama holdovers with Soros backing are still crawling all over the place engaging in subtle forms of subversive action.
Check out article, and photos at # 117 .
Neither she or her husband should be allowed to be within ten miles of the president.
The media wants us to believe BO is still really in power, if not in the White House.
Disregard my #14, which was uninformed, thus, flippant.
See instead, #32, 36, & 45.
This is a bit more serious.
Ms. Brooks worked directly for Soros as well as Obama.
And her husband is a Lt. Col. Read his is twitter feed, linked # 45.
More fake news. Why post it here on FR ?
What? Are you coming to the defense of Obama’s ex-Pentagon Official’s written statement?
We know why... because Obama was President and he filled the gov’t with enemies domestic
No, but there is no legitimate threat of a military coupe.
That was not the point of the post. It was to show how the left is coming unhinged and to expose Soros plants in the Obama administration.
That would explain it then. Thanks.
One word: PIPEDREAMS !!!
I suspect a military coup would look more like removing the judiciary.
I would prefer a coup against the legislative branch.
Replace with citizens who truly love our country.
I started to say that we should give the current pant load of politicians to ISIS..but I probably shouldn’t post that.
