OK, this is my theory about Trump’s real plan for January 6, 2021 after hearing Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony along with the rest of the hearings. I actually said most of this in answer to a comment on a Yahoo story, and it was deleted for somehow not following their guidelines. After putting two and two together this seems to me to be what Trump was really planning: Trump wanted people with weapons to be let into the Ellipse, telling the Secret Service to get rid of the magnetometers. Why? Trump was furious that the Secret Service wouldn't take him to the Capitol. Again why? Trump riled up the crowd to go the the Capitol and take back their country, promising to be there with them. Now put it all together. In order to pull off a coup, you have to actually be present at the coup. Trump, in my theory, planned to lead his armed supporters into the Capitol, hold Congress at gunpoint and force them to declare him the winner of the election. Perhaps to even emulate his hero, Chinese president Xi, and declare him president for life. He obviously couldn't do any of that from the West Wing. He refused to listen to anyone, even said Pence deserved to be hung for not carrying out his backup plan by refusing to add up the Electoral Votes. Can you imagine his fury to have all his plans go awry? All he can do now is to keep insisting the election was rigged. In his mind the American people had no right to kick him out of office, not The Donald Trump! His ego won’t let him admit he lost fair and square even if he knows that’s the truth. He will never change his one-note tune. It’s beyond my comprehension how his fans can attend his rallies just to listen to the same thing over and over. The only subject he talks about is himself, just all “me me me.” How is that even interesting? His niece, Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist who knows her uncle Donald very well, tells us he is a dangerous psychopath who is so used to getting his own way that he can't fathom anyone telling him he can't do what he wants when he wants. He has temper tantrums when anyone tells him no, throwing and breaking things, yelling, threatening and insulting people. Ms. Trump said those reactions are par for the course for her uncle. We may as well say goodbye to our system of government if Trump were elected again. Look at all the harm he and Mitch McConnell have accomplished with the Supreme Court. They took away a right women have held for fifty years. They demolished the separation of church and state. They ruled against the EPA, saying it doesn't have the authority to keep our air clean! And that’s only the beginning. The Republicans have always wanted to get rid of government regulations and what better way to do that than to throttle all the agencies’ authority to carry out their actual purpose. Remember, TFG assigned totally unqualified people to lead some agencies, or people whose goals were to gut the agencies they were given to head up. Think of the mess the State Department was left in under TFG. Now the Supreme Court will accomplish the Republicans’ agenda for them.
