That’s his weak point. He has support in the military, but not enough to actually test it, and especially not enough to give the larger mass of servicepeople a taste for gunning down their own countrymen.
He had intended to be past this point by last spring, but he’s not there yet, and meanwhile what’s left of the courts is slowing his roll.
Without the military willing to take direct domestic action, in the end this coup WILL fail. I’m not saying it’s impossible he could actually do it, but I am saying it seems less and less likely every day.
In the meantime I am just hoping against hope his sorry demented ass doesn’t start WWIII, because that actually is a possibility.
