Trump staged a coup. How is it not true?

US Congress is a criminal enterprise too regarding trading with non-public information, I will give you that.

No, he didn't. It wasn't a coup.

Was it not a coup because it failed?

A serious coup would be seriously armed. In the footage, none of the rioters are seen with firearms.

It was a bad event, and Trump deserves some share of the blame. But no more than Democrats deserve a share of the blame for the 2 billion dollars of BLM-Antifa riot damage and couple of dozen related deaths.

Meanwhile, Democrats are openly supporting Antifa as the domestic terrorist wing of their party, and allowing them to get away with jury intimidation amongst other things.

Trump tried to get the mags removed, to let the people with the rifles in.

Didn't work, but attempting a coup is also illegal.
