Mr Snyder is making inflammatory statements in a effort to sell his book. You can't blame him, but I can't believe that the President would "Stage a Coup", he's already in charge. Maybe his next book will be about why Hillary lost.

A coup d'état is, by definition, non-violent. If Trump, or anyone else, tried to suspend elections and/or arrest Congress, or otherwise nullify them, or use the military to circumvent local law enforcement, then he would have committed a coup d'état. Don't think that, because he is already in power, he can't stage some kind of coup.

And another one.
coup d'etat
If you hear about a foreign government's violent overthrow on the news, you can describe it as a coup d'etat.

SGT Edward Wilcox - Otherwise nullify Congress - sounds like some of the stuff that President Obama did and tried to do.

Trump is 70 years old. He has people like Mathis around him. Everybody in the military has sworn allegence to the constitution. Iam sure everyone would just fall in line. Congress is in his back pocket, notice how everyone rolled over for Obamacare replacement? I am sure they will jump all over this. I can hear Trump now, "Hay, Ivanka and Jerrod let's get the 410 pump shot guns and take over the Pentagon." " Ok daddy" it will be so easy"! Jerrod will run the military, I'll run the economy, the White House bookstore and my Fashion line, what are you going to run?" Give me a F--king break. This is like the Dick Morris books, belong with science fiction and witch craft books next to the fantasy section!

Just another Trump Hater writing for a leftist website. This guy just threw out a bunch of hysterical ramblings and associated them with Trump. I don't suppose he has PROOF of anything he has claimed?

I don't know if he has proof. You'll need to read the book to find out. Don't want to buy it? Visit your friendly neighborhood library. I'm sure they will have it.
Now, you do get this was an interview with an author, right? The one who wrote the article is just asking questions.

SGT Edward Wilcox - You mean an interview where he had the questions before hand like when Donna Brazile made sure Clinton had the questions prior to the democratic primary debate? This was not an interview. This was a preplanned rant. Come on it is not like these people actually think for themselves. They just take in and regurgitate the same nonsense over and over. Hard to believe a scholar from Yale could not come up with his own ideas.
Now why would anybody buy or for that matter, check out, total crap writing from a delusional? Just from the interview it is obvious that he has never spoken to anyone who is not an uber liberal. So why would his writings be even relevant to a normal American who works for a living?

They are not relevant to normal Americans (i.e. Trump voters). He wrote it for the liberals to feed their TDS and for CNN/MSNBC to sit and posit that this poses some serious threat to the Republic.

MSgt George Cater - Absolutely. They have to grasp at threads to legitimize acting like a bunch of bullies.
