    It could be argued that another country has already staged a coup, russia was pretty successful in its endeavour to install trump.

    What if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed keeps trump because he is a useful idiot.

    Russia, mostly.

        “coup”?

        They fucking brainwashed 70 million+ people to actually vote for it. 😭

        This is hardly a “coup”, this is just peak human stupidity.

    That ain’t happening. If one were to occur here, a coup would be a popular movement or a military one.

    With all their experience, the CIA should brew one up right now, the country could use it. Just for one in your life, though, try not to install another dictator, install an actual democratic government, as this country really never has had one

    Only way that would happen is if the military lets it.

    Is there any country the military trusts more than the current president?

    Hmmmm… Canada would be my closest guess.

      Yea Canada would be the only one to even remotely manage that, and that’s taking the gamble that the US doesn’t launch a nuke before it finishes.

      Being said it would need to be the military, I don’t think the average citizen would stop something like that. Especially if the invaders were another democratic leaning country. The only way I think you get civilians to fight is if it ends up being a communist country that tries to invade. The relational ties with Canada are pretty strong, many people have friends who are Canadian, and it’s so unlike Canada that I don’t think many would believe it was actually them if it was done.

      Hell we’re talking a country that basically shrugged and said “oh well they deserved it” when someone shot a healthcare CEO, I can’t see anyone batting much of an eye if someone deposed the sitting officials, especially the head of the country, at least in it’s current state.

      Being said though… if something like that did happen, I don’t think it will be from a foreign government, I think it would be domestic. Not that it makes it any better.

    A foreign country can’t stage a coup, only foment one. If your looking for expertise, there are a bunch of CIA guys about to be unemployed.

    Based on recent events, I’d say South Africa. Because the afrikaners are still bitter about our role in ending their apartheid state, and a significant portion of the United States is racist enough to encourage it to happen.

    if someone would do it:

    Cuba. Or Iran. Or a Palestinian faction.

    Why:

    • Trump’s government openly hates Cuba and has reversed Obama/Biden-era openness to Cuba.

    • Trump had Iran’s most important foreign military leader assassinated, he is close with Iran’s regional rivals and supports Iran’s biggest enemy Israel.

    • Why a palestinian faction would try to do is doesn’t need to be explained, I guess.

      None of those have funds for it without backing from a very wealthy state.

        Yeah, I think it would be the Cubans and Russians at the same time. And they’d get pretty far except for some meddling teens.

        Later, North Korea would reboot the effort.

    LOL

    Ain’t happening.

    conservative 2nd amendment gun nuts will storm the capital and restore trump (or if he’s dead, another Magat), most of the military voted trump, dude has full support. There ain’t no “coup”, you are describing an invasion/rebellion.

    Trump is a symptom of a corrupt system. Removing him is like treating cancer with a bandaid. The entire system must be challenged and overthrown, which includes Democrats and Republicans alike.

    Everyone in the comments mentioning Russia as if Israel isn’t the largest threat to us.

    Trump’s children do it, because it is all just so shameful.
