Right, unless he orders something and people do it, in which case it’s a coup.

HA! I remember that blunder.

Haig, (from memory), “I am here, in control, at the White House”.

Pence participated in the anti-Trump Sea Island Conference just before Trump assumed office in 2016. He has been a snake in the grass. Look it up and see who else was there, Ryan, McConnell, et al.

Do we know how many Trump people were actually inside the Capitol fighting or destroying property?

I saw videos of a lot of people peacefully walking around the Rotunda.

Beyond that, in all the videos on Fox, I saw less than 25 people doing something illegal.

And, the videos of Congress Critters cowering and cringing in fear are downright comical.

What kind of wuss would be seriously frightened by a mob of Trump supporters?
