So thats why they had the coup of 2016. And we, historians, i believe bernie quickly will refer to that 2016 attempt by the d. N. C. To usurp and to a legitimate as the Trump Victory 2016 as a coup or attempted coup. I think what were seeing now with what youre describing, the miscommunication or the not the miscommunication, but the but the deliberate time, radical withholding of information would be part and parcel of this rolling coup. And people who study history call was look at the coup in americas coups, in latin america, in other countries. And now, you know, theyve proved themselves in effect, and i dont think the results are going to be pretty, trump unselfish, crossed many rubicons as well, like theres no going back from some of the stuff hes done.
