Blah, blah blah. The definition I provided was the only one that was pertinent to the case. Fuck Napoleon, his bullshit 300 years ago means nothing and neither did the communist actions in Venezuela. The fact that you are attempting to distract from facts with a bunch of irrelevant crap is proof that you don't know WTF you are talking about. BTW, an opinion in Politico (of all bullshit sources) is hardly something to hang a discussion on. Nothing you have posted makes an ounce of sense.That’s not the only definition of a coup or coup attempt. You mind is way too limited to function properly in the modern age,
Technically, what Trump attempted is what’s known as a “self-coup” and Trump isn’t the first leader to try it. Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (nephew of the first Napoleon) pulled one off in France in December 1851 to stay in power beyond his term. Then he declared himself Emperor, Napoleon III. More recently, Nicolas Maduro perpetrated a self-coup in Venezuela after losing the 2017 elections.Opinion | Yes, It Was a Coup Attempt. Here’s Why.
What Trump tried is called a “self-coup,” and he did it in slow motion and in plain sight.www.politico.com
