Trump installs MAGA extremists in navy companies forward of Biden’s inauguration

Donald Trump appears to be installing MAGA loyalists at the helm of the military and intelligence agencies just days before Joe Biden takes office.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow alerted Trump about the step behind the scenes and openly asked what the outgoing president thinks these agencies can be dealt with in less than 48 hours before Biden is sworn in.

“What do the Trump people think they can do with the military and the secret services in the last few days?” asked the MSNBC host. “Why would you bother installing all of these new ones at the end before Biden gets there?”

Maddow said:

The question is why are they trying? At the very last minute they are literally trying to swear this guy down to head the NSA 24 hours before Biden’s inauguration. And, you know, yes, on a surface that Biden faces the annoying task of figuring out a way to fire this guy or, as you know, assign him to a very important job in Antarctica, the paint dry outside to observe. Or something else to do with this guy. But think about where the impetus for this comes from. What do the Trump people think they can do with the military and intelligence in the last few days? Why would you bother installing all of these new ones in the end before Biden gets there? We will see.

Trump is still playing with coup fantasies

In less than 48 hours, Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. There is nothing Donald Trump or his gang of white supremacist terrorists can do to prevent this from happening.

But Trump’s eleventh attempt to put his loyalists at the helm of the military and intelligence agencies seems to suggest that coup fantasies are still swirling around in his head.

In one version of Trump’s reality, if he leaves office, he either still believes he can pull off a coup, or he believes he can influence the military and intelligence by installing his loyalists now.

Either way, Donald Trump is likely to be disappointed as he leaves office at 12:00 p.m. on Jan. 20 and any MAGA extremist he installs at the last minute is likely to be canned by Joe Biden.
