    Why would this be for a “potential coup” and not - telling the generals they’re going to be attacking several “Democrat cities” using real military grade violence, and may receive live fire from disgruntled citizens.

    …that seems like a far more likely reason for the meetings. Far far more likely.

      That’s been my theory too, invasion and occupation of all blue states. Maybe rounding up and imprisoning/killing every registered democrat and anyone else that looks woke/undesirable. I hope I’m wrong and it’s just some ego stroking exercise.

      If the meeting had already happened before Trump directed them to do so, then it would make sense as a pulse check to see if there would be any dissent. But the meeting hasn’t happened yet.

      There is of course the possibility that it was supposed to be about that and someone mentioned it to Trump and he couldn’t hold it and jumped the gun without knowing why it was so important that the meeting happened first… that is unfortunately, plausible…
