Because he thought that a bunch of rednecks could get it done, and if they didn't, well he had (and has) plausible deniability. He will not make that mistake again if he wins the election in 2024. I think he believed 100% that he could get the Republicans to throw out the electoral college vote and get enough states to declare their elections were fraudulent and get enough electoral votes to win. People can down vote me if they like, but the truth will come out with the Congressional Committee. I don't think it will happen soon enough to keep him off the ballot though.


He thought a few thousand randos with (very generously) a hundred guns and no apparent willingness to use them or kill anybody would be able to overthrow the US Government. And now his plan is to spearhead an actual coup at in 2028, when he's 83. Which is he supposed to be, a totalitarian mastermind or a total buffoon? Dumb enough to attempt a coup with a piddling army, smart enough to avoid any charges for 9 months with the intended victim and his party in power?

And what was his plan if they did violently take over DC? The largest army in the world would just take it back. Don't tell me they would follow his orders, they didn't like him before he started killing US civilians, politicians, and cops.

I guess we'll see what the committee discovers. Apparently, it's your belief that they'll discover nothing of significance in the next three years, but maybe we'll see after.
