The only way I see this makes sense -- and at great risk of creating much more anger -- is a warning to any "non-career politician" they better not even think about doing what Trump did in 2015-2016.
To emphasize his promise that "America will never be a socialist country", while he still has the power Trump needs to strike back high, hard and fast against -- at least -- the leaders of this four-year coup d'etat.
Yep, now the GOP can take off their masks without fear of retribution.
Look what they did the day after the 1964 election with Goldwater.
