    I don’t think it’s all that unlikely that parts of the military arrest Trump and his administration… Trump is deeply unpopular among the military top brass, and they tend to still value the constitution

    They also value their paychecks, and have to consider a lot more than just whether or not they dislike him. The first magat that is given an order against trump is likely to shoot them, and will be able to claim he was just following the principle of not following unlawful orders, AND that he was following the law by trying to then place them under arrest, they resisted, and had to be shot in the scuffle.

    Military schisms are tough bitches to handle. I’d say that it is extremely unlikely, as in won’t happen unless trump decides to go to war with canada and europe and china and russia and india at the same time, that the military does anything.
