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!

SGT Edward Wilcox - I read it SGT and it is still nothing but male bovine excrement.
