In reply to the discussion: Why is Trump going back to DC? Should we be worried? [View all]David__77
(23,372 posts)32. I don't think worry is needed.
I think hes certainly pushing for very unprecedented things, close to the edge of there being a real showdown. I tend to think that he wont actually gamble on decisive action since the chance of failure and major consequence to him is very high.
There is a mass movement for a coup right now, and he can certainly order things to occur that would require clear cut refusal and opposition by entities that normally would obey.
I think that 1/6 is an important date in that if it passes with Congress performing its duty, it will be very disorienting to that pro-coup movement, and it becomes likely that his own core would splinter (Pence, cabinet members, for instance).

Honestly, I believe the main reason he's returning to DC is that he can't face tonight's party.

The Proud Boys won't go to DC without their cult leader. Besides he already grifted his NYE guests.
