Ask yourself a question, with generals like Milley and VPs like Pence, how many would have followed his lawful orders? Remember, Trump in his last days also had to fire a general who wanted to stay in Afghanistan. In his last year he also had to fire a Navy Admiral who wanted to go after that Navy Seal (Gallager I belive his name was) that Trump had specifically told him not to prosecute and whom he later pardoned.
The military brass wanted him gone. Like in every coup, both sides calculate who is on their side and who is against him. Trump knew he couldn't pull it off.
Before anyone says I'm some Q supporter or TDW fan club member on hopium, I'm not. And if you're coming here to say Trump was all an elaborate ploy or ruse by the deep state, you're brain dead.
I'm divided about Trump truthfulness but surely this isn't a cause.
That high into politics/business (same thing at that level) you just can't risk those kind of enemies, and they will want to be all over you for status (and on that level you will too).
If he antagonized any of these people before the popular opinion was informed about them he would have been waged an unwinnable war.
Not saying this is it - just saying that in both cases that would have happened.
False positive.
edit: actually it would have been more suspect if he antagonized them. The chances would be higher he was controlled opposition.
