planning, strategizing'

John Bolton, the former national security adviser in the Trump administration and champion of the Iraq War, told CNN on Friday that his old boss isn't "capable" of staging a real coup.

"The idea of Trump staging a coup does give him too much credit," Bolton said on CNN's "New Day."

"That requires advance thinking, planning, strategizing, building up support," he continued, "and I just don't think he's capable of that."

Bolton was responding to former President Donald Trump's recent statement on a series of new books coming out, several of which include scathing details on the January 6 insurrection.

No but he's obviously able to motivate the simple minded to do stupid things which hurt them or other people.

2. Watched him live

The problem is that the Slobfather did attempt a coup and it failed

[question everything]

3. Yes, but where was he during the impeachment?

4. Trump is a flippant impulse driven child

Anything in his head just came out and frankly he isn’t exactly playing chess up there in the first place.

5. His stupidity is dangerous enough to get others to figure it out as he takes credit. nt

6. Bolton had his time and his chance but he chose to pass

Now he is just irrelevant and I couldn't care less about what he says.

7. Dear John Bolton - just when I think you've said the stupidest thing ever...

...YOU KEEP TALKING!!

8. Yes, but there are plenty of people willing to do the thinking, planning

and strategizing for him. Something I still have a hard time understanding.
