Trump goes to war with the military. A coup d’etat would be preferable to his presidency.
Bryan Bender@Politico (9/8/16): “Donald Trump’s broadside against the top military brass is drawing warnings of a crisis in civilian-military relations should he become commander in chief and begin bypassing generals and admirals now serving under President Barack Obama. ‘It would be unprecedented,’ said Mackubin Thomas Owens, a retired Marine colonel and former instructor at the Naval War College. ‘This would be making the military into a partisan prize. The idea you are going to come in and fire all the generals and admirals would be nearly impossible for a variety of reasons, but would also be stupid.'”
