In reply to the discussion: Trump Claims Democrats 'Were Staging a Coup,' Blames Pelosi for Jan. 6 Capitol Attack [View all]Kablooie

Always, always,ALWAYS accuse your opponent of any crimes you commit.
It doesnt have to make sense, just do it.
It will always confuse the issue and force your opponent to go on defense.
Now it will become a power chant for his followers and we will hear more repeats of the Democratic coup than the Trump one.
If any of this ever goes to trial there will always be at least one juror who believes Trump lies so it will be impossible to convict him on criminal charges. Thats one reason he keeps them going so the misinformation that protects him will never die away.

Whenever Trump accuses someone else of wrongdoing, he's actually confessing to a crime he committed.
