Attempting to manipulate the system to stay in power is not the same as an armed uprising. One could argue that the 2,000 election was a coup if you really tried. Hell, many did at the time and still do.
Sure, it is not the same as an armed uprising, but it also is not in any way on par with what happened in 2.000. Saying he manipulated the system makes Trump appear more sly than anything, imho it is not the right way to address pressuring calls to find him votes and the like. But sure, I will not convince you to weigh it the exact same way I do. My main objective was establishing that Trump did indeed coup attempts, I guess we can leave it at that conclusion for now.
