We have the biggest, most powerful arsenal in the history of the world. And if Trump remains in power, do you think he'd hesitate to use it? He will, unless the Joint Chief of staff won't let him. And that would be a military coup d'etat. If the military took over and ousted Trump, would they hold power, or, through some way or another return power to civilian rule. And if so, who is it they'd return that power to?
All of this is hypothetical bullshit. But one thing that isn't hypothetical is that if Trump gets another term, and the military doesn't revolt, he will do whatever is necessary to tighten his grasp on power. Hell, he'd nuke San Francisco in a heartbeat if he didn't like something Bill Gates said.
