I think it’s going to come down to a decision where President Trump is going to have to get the assistance of the military. That’s just my belief. I’m not talking about a military coup. I’m talking about my belief that President Trump devolved the federal government while in office. He devolved the government, and if the 2020 election was stolen-especially if it was stolen by a foreign country like China-it was an act of war, and we do not have a constitutionally elected president right now.

It's not a coup, because a coup is when the military removes a duly elected president.

or as webster would say,
"a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group"
Not even correct by the book, much less by reality. David Lyes again. I pray for anyone who has to endure this medic's services.

Except it is a coup, because Biden really IS the legitimate president of the USA, NOT Trump. And IF the election was “stolen”, you’d think Trump and his minions would have been able to provide a modicum of proof by now. But they still haven’t.

No, that’s EXACTLY what you’re talking about, sorry.
Also, remember, we’re talking about the same guy who just literally said “I think you'd have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we've never seen before” if he were to be indicted. Ya KNOW, that kinda could be taken as a threat right there, couldn’t it?
Honestly, I wonder sometimes how in the hell Trump isn’t just disqualified from running for anything ever again. Like I said in another reply to something else, I’d be totally cool with him showing up in WWE now and again, lol. If nothing else, he can be pretty damn entertaining, when I’m not worried about him ruining the country or something.
King Charles III went to the Senedd in Wales yesterday. As of just over a week ago, he became Colonel-in-Chief of most of the British armed forces: including the Welsh Guard. The difference in this case was he was invited there. But even he is only a Constitutional monarch: he has no actual political power. He can't even vote. Question:
Did all those voters who entered the building containing the Senate on 6th January 2021 have permission to...?!
...because if your answer is the only one possible, there's your answer re. a 'coup'.
Oh, and something else: some... thing has been begging for an invite to the Queen's state funeral next week. For instance, a couple of presidents have been, thus will be there: France's Le Makron. US's Joe Biden.
Invitations don't work that way, Donald Fart.
"think it’s going to come down to a decision where President Trump is going to have to get the assistance of the military.”
He’s not President.
He has no power to invoke or activate the military, or order anyone that’s in the military.
The military REALLY doesn’t want to get involved in politics. Never has. Hopefully never will.
Even if Biden was somehow illegitimate and Trump was the actual elected, it would still be a coup. The definition of “coup” as most people use it doesn’t make any distinctions about legitimacy.
Also, even if there *was* massive vote fraud, the fraud was not uncovered before congress affirmed the results, so Biden is the legitmate president even if it were uncovered later. The only remedy would be to impeach him, and congress would only have real cause to do so if it were proven that he was involved in the fraud (and not merely a beneficiary). Even then, that wouldn’t make Trump president, because he’s not in the line of succession.
The minuscule fraud which has been uncovered in the past 2 years were all done by Republicans and wouldn’t have changed any major election, so…
Call him President Trump if you feel like it, if it makes you feel better, they still do for old ones. But he is no longer commander in chief, so how would he tell the military to do anything? What you're describing is definitely a coup d'etat, whatever spin you put on it, the modern version of marching the legions on Rome.
Confused?
