What is Trump plotting?

SIXTY-NINE DAYS TO GO: There are so many whispers going around that Donald Trump is plotting some sort of coup. Never mind the legal action about the vote counting in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Alaska and North Carolina, it's something much darker. Well I have never believed in conspiracy theories and I won't make an exception even for Trump but the coup rumours are symptomatic of the fears going around that the president, now 69 days away from being ousted from the White House, is not going to play ball and will stay put. It hasn't helped that Trump has started to stuff the Pentagon with 100 per cent Trumpites, notably Anthony Tata, ex-Fox News aficionado, as under secretary of defence for policy, the third highest position in the Pentagon. But, unless I am mistaken or haven't heard yet, General Mark Milley is still chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and I can't see him staying silent if Trump suddenly orders something perceived to be outrageous or wrong or unlawful. These last 69 days are going to be tense and worrying. But Joe Biden and his transition people seem to be relaxed, laughing at Trump's behaviour. But beware, Mr President Elect, while Trump is in the White House you cannot be sure of anything. And there are more than 70 million American voters who are stamping their feet in anger and disbelief that their chosen man will no longer be president on January 20. A coup? No, but we don't know what may happen. Biden should be prepared.
