Trump called out the troops. Or declared martial law. Or built a wall around the White House. Or retreated into a bunker. Or said he wouldn’t leave the building after all.

I mean, who among us as a lame-duck President hasn’t talked about the possibility of a military coup to stay in power? What’s the big deal?

Maybe humoring the mad king wasn't the best fcking idea to come down the pike. https://t.co/Kt72bMUR0U
