Not exactly, Leonard.

My last post makes clear that Snyder is not speaking of a "coup" and that a declaration of emergency for some increased power would not work in the US.

My previous post makes clear that what would motivate such actions on the part of Trump and some supporters would be incompetence, the inability to manage government through the usual levers and channels. Snyder says something like that in the excerpt I just quoted for Neb.

So no, I am neither buying into nor promoting a theory that Trump is capable of executing a  bloodless coup of the US gov.

PS I don't think I have called Trump "stupid" or "idiotic." "Incompetent" and "overwhelmed," certainly.
