Trump is in it to the end. We are talking about real military style coup with civil war, collapse of the US economy - second great depression (not recession), war escalated by russia, etc and likely nuclear attacks. All within reach. The issue is that the minds of most Americans are not able to process this. Europeans can easily see it unfiltered.
