the line of thinking is that if trump decides to occupy the white house in protest then the military will come in and drag him out, but under who's orders? trump is commander in chief, pompeo is the secretary of state and he just fired the defense secretary. pompeo is also deep state...
if some troika of trump, pompeo and the new defense secretary starts ordering troops around, they are in theory supposed to continue to listen to them.
when's the breaking point, here?
and what does it look like?
again: it's one thing if trump is running his mouth off, and it's another one altogether when his support staff is repeating it.
