The military swears an oath to uphold the constitution, not buckle under to anyone that considers themselves the emperor. And if he were to do something REALLY stupid and call out the troops they are well within those rights to ignore him.
Equals civil war. Even he wouldn't want that, would he ?
The sad fact is that we do not have a single party leader that could keep it together enough to competently manage a busy fast food joint for a year better yet a country for four years.
Didn't he tell people to protest peacefully?
If that's what you think, then you really need to watch the video of his "rally."
It's not about what I think. What exactly did he say. Isn't this what matters?
Words matter, but context is more important.
Words matter, so do intonation and actions. He told supporters to March to the capital and "fight much harder". Not a clean "attack" but getting pretty close.

Here's a decent summary of things he said that could easily get the gullible to break laws for their hero.
Capitol riots: Did Trump's words at rally incite violence?
Donald Trump was accused of inciting violence that left five people dead. So what did the president say?
Yes, that is one of the things he said. He also told a hoard of gun toting mouth breathers to "fight like hell", "stop the steal" and "never give up". If I tell a hoard to attack and end my speech with "just kidding", that doesn't absolve me of responsibility. With great power comes great responsibility. When you are leading an angry mob you need to choose your words carefully to avoid inciting them and you ending up responsible for the outcome.
If i told the Union of Postal Workers to 'go to Ottawa and fight much harder' would we expect them to scale the ramparts?Words matter, so do intonation and actions. He told supporters to March to the capital and "fight much harder". Not a clean "attack" but getting pretty close.

He could have absolutely done more and should have done better.
Excepting the laws of common decency and decorum. Plus it looks kind of "presidential", not something he was ever good at.
Fixed that for ya.
