Justice Department Special counsel Jack Smith appealed to the federal judge overseeing former President Trump’s election fraud case Friday evening to issue a protective order for evidence, citing s…
Wouldn’t the real last card be organizing & mounting a full blown insurrection? Not like the first attempt where he could try to keep his hands relatively clean of it, as he’s tried to do in a number of other criminal schemes related to his businesses.
I am convinced he wanted a full blown insurrection the first time around, and fully planned to enter the capitol as newly coronated emperor. He wanted armed protesters to hang around his rally, and he fully planned to go there. The reason he didn’t is that once he got into his car the secret service over ruled his last-minute request (because he knew it would not be approved), and he got MAD. He tried to physically take control of the car, but yeah, apparently the president does not have the authority to put himself in harm’s way.
Check out paragraph 81 of the indictment. One of his co-conspirators was having a discussion with a lawyer; the lawyer said staying in office past January 20 would trigger “riots in every major city in the United States, and the co-conspirator replied, “Well, [lawyer], that’s why there’s an Insurrection Act”.
He and his merry band of idiot followers can’t organise a coup, they don’t have the collective brain power. IQ in the low 40s, no idea what’s going on in the world outside of their bubble, and prone to infighting and arguing about whose conspiracy theory is the correct conspiracy theory.
They all think they would just march in waving their guns around, and automatically win, but what would actually happen is they’d end up getting cut to ribbons, then the rest would run away.
If I could describe the Republican party in two sentences, this would be it. They know they are liars too, but they just don’t care as long as their voters do.

I doubt he’d be capable of orchestrating that. he threw his insurrectionists under the bus last time by inciting them and then not pardoning them; Trumpers willing to do such a thing are in or going to prison. Makes it hard to incentivize the next batch.
He’s lost support in the military. Can you imagine him trying to lead troops like a general? It would be the shortest coup ever. He’d probably change enemy troop locations with a sharpie because he doesn’t like where they are.
Trump is good at spewing vile rhetoric, he’s not competent or popular enough for anything like that anymore.
Not to mention that the US military’s senior officer corps absolutely despises him for a suite of reasons that should be obvious to anyone who’s been half awake and has a brain.
Trump is briefed on an overseas national security issue, given some options to respond and his reply is “we’ll leave that for the next guy” since it was too close to inauguration day.
I can’t imagine Trump is popular with anyone outside of this stans.

you dont need millions of smart people. you only need a few hundred smart ones to guide the army of idiots

Perhaps it was intended to be. Maybe even Trump is surprised he’s still alive and out if jail

He only didn’t support them because it failed. Otherwise he would have gone all the way.
