He scoffs at the idea of a Nazi invasion of the US but we have to be fair. That in specific may not have been realistic, but there was a very real conspiracy to overthrow FDR and install a facist government that would side with Germany, it's called the Business Plot.

Yeah, Huey Long was going to be a fascist POTUS when he got assassinated in 1935. So there was already a sort of pre-emptive "overthrow" by assassination of the likely future POTUS which was to be a fascist.
