Maybe Trump is more dangerous than I have given him credit for being.
Considering Trump starting to place “loyalists” inside the army already in 2019, maybe even earlier. His own comments during the autumn that he might be president for another 12 years and the army’s late response for help during the riots inside the capitol.
Maybe he didn't plan it the way it happend but maybe he was planning something of the sort?
Maybe you don't realize this about the US, but EVERY President puts their own "loyalists" into leadership positions of every organization in the Executive Branch...and that includes the Military. Trump putting his loyalists in place is no different.
Now...let's talk about the fodder for your "coup" conspiracy theory, eh?
"president for another 12 years"
I don't know...you seem to have a pretty good command of colloquial English. Maybe deliberate sarcasm or hyperbole expressed during rally speeches are harder for you to detect. Or, maybe you have fallen victim of the deliberate spin and nonsense from the media that they apply to everything Trump says. Whatever the case, you can be sure that Trump has never seriously expressed interest in violating the Constitution. Especially in regard to Presidential term limits.
"the army's late response"
First of all, there are various levels within what you might consider "the army". Per the Constitution, some levels CANNOT be used for controlling internal civil protest. That would be, for example, the US Army...our active duty fighting force. The President has direct control over active duty forces, but he cannot just send in the troops to quell a riot.
The National Guard is a bit different. It is under dual control. They are organized by State and are, first, under the control of State Governors. The President can take that control away, but it is not as simple as just doing it. There are hoops to jump through. There are also political ramifications.
Add to that the fact that DC isn't a state...they don't have a National Guard...which means any deployed National Guard would have to come from, at best, a state in the surrounding area. That adds another layer of bureaucracy to the process.
The notion that Trump was planning and implementing a coup by using his loyalists in the military to delay a response by US Armed Forces during riots...even at the Capitol...is, at best, just plain ridiculous.
btw, the proper way to control riots is by using law enforcement...not the military. There were many levels of law enforcement available to call upon before and during the riot, but they aren't controlled by the President. For example, the DC Police (controlled by the DC Mayor) and the Capitol Police (ultimately controlled by Nancy Pelosi). By all accounts, neither of those agencies were used effectively.
Perhaps a better conspiracy theory would contend that those two die-hard leftists...the Mayor and Nancy...were running a plan to increase federal control over the Capitol and the city it resides in by deliberate, ineffective law enforcement response to the riot. After all, the result now is a Capitol surrounded by a wall and National Guard troops who strictly control who is allowed entry into the very center of the Legislative Branch of our government. That could be characterized as a partial, at least, coup.
