I think if Trump hadn't have backed out at the last minute he could have had a coup today, easily. It would have kicked off a civil war to be sure, but he had a shot.
If he wasn't such a chicken shit idiot he could have done it.
Crisis averted I guess.
Tbh, if Trump was any kind of political strategist he'd be calling shots in the background, not serving as a figurehead
Idk some folks wanna Murdoch and others wanna Burlesconi
