(17,539 posts)Senior American military leadership would most likely tell Trump to go to Hell if he attempted to use the military to take over the nation in an attempt to foil an election or overturn the results of the election. Trump would end up in a sleeveless coat in a rubber room if he tried. Trump's DHS Storm Troopers are not numerous enough to pull of a military coup.
