This isn't a coup by an authoritarian. It's just another grift by a con man
President Trump is not an authoritarian or a dictator, and his claims that he really won the election are not a coup attempt.
No. Trump is a con man, and his insistence that he can overturn the election is his latest grift.
This isn’t a coup. It’s a fundraising attempt. Trump and Rudy Giuliani are tapping their marks for cash one last time so they can pay off campaign debts and line their pockets.
How many texts and emails has the Trump campaign sent you in the past week begging for money? They claim that with just a little more cash, they can finally produce the proof of a voter fraud conspiracy so massive that it overturned the election in four states. It’s been a constant barrage: 50 fundraising emails and about 30 fundraising text messages in the five days after Election Day, according to one count.
They call it the “Election Defense Task Force,” and many liberal commentators have their hair on fire, screaming that Trump is trying to steal the election. But he’s not, and he won’t.
There is no way Trump could gain enough votes or disqualify enough Biden votes in order to win. Conservative commentator Erick Erickson and Trump-supporting conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt have both made it clear that while there certainly was fraud (there always is), it was not on anywhere near the scale needed to flip the closest states.

I'm usually not inclined to post stories from the Washington Examiner but this one's a little better. Hope this guy's right.
