Obama Pentagon Official Says Anti-Trump Military Coup Now Possible Says Trump ‘as crazy as everyone feared’; claims military overthrow and ‘an insane order’ both ‘frightening’
By Carlo Muñoz - February 2, 2017.
A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump from power.
In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive presidents in American history.
“Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” Ms. Brooks wrote. “[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders.”
For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, “I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ‘No, sir. We’re not doing that.’”
Ms. Brooks‘ editorial comes as a recent poll by Public Policy Polling group found that 40 percent of registered voters support Mr. Trump’s impeachment. In addition, 52 percent of voters polled said they would rather have President Obama in the Oval Office, opposed to the 43 percent who support the Trump presidency.
In the editorial, Ms. Brooks noted that Mr. Trump’s “thin-skinned, erratic, and unconstrained” approach to defense matters of defense could put top U.S. military leaders in a position where they would be forced to execute orders that may be “dangerously unhinged” from a basic understanding of national security.

More fake news.
Go away Obamarrhoids.
I suspect a military coup would look more like removing the judiciary.
Trump overwhelmingly won the military and veteran vote, so we’ll see, lady.
However, Trump is forcing a lot of people to own up to responsibilities they have shirked for a very, very long time.
And that is driving them insane, literally. Their minds cannot adjust, cannot cope with the new order... which is indeed the order it should have been all along.
For all of the insistence many anti-Trumpers have about evolution, they themselves are not evolving very well at all.
This seems like sedition. Perhaps I am over reacting....
Rosa Brooks is the daughter of Barbara Ehrenreich.
She comes by her leftwing delusions naturally.
Fake news but many Americans ARE asses. I was out tonight and couldn’t stand the number of mostly white women hating on Trump.
It was at a function on Staten Island but that doesn’t mean they were from Staten Island.
It went for Trump 57 percent, which is actually low here for a president.
But what they were saying was mutinous and nauseating.
I think this #### is crazy because I would assume MANY military leaders have been replaced already.
And I bet the soldiers love the new guy. I dont know any soldiers to ask though.
If a coup did somehow happen, I already know where to go and meet up with Militia.
Only been the range a handful of times but we’ll need all the help we can get.
Of course I think the possibility is absurd.
yeah, right...
Just took a look at her.
Stupid white b.tch.
gawd .... did Obama release all the psychotics from the nut farm, or what?
Just another day in the TRUMP world.
I don’t want to hear “expert” oblatherations from “former” officials, thank you very much.
One of Obama’s goofy Czars.
That’s crazy talkin’.
I tend to believe that the VAST majority of the military are pleased as punch with President Trump being elected; I have loads of friends and family serving in various capacities and so far it’s unanimous.
This is right in line with the perception the media want to paint.
Such as what specifically, Ms. Brooks?
As soon as the military finishes doing cartwheels of delight, I'm sure they'll consider your request to violently overthrow an administration that the lion's share of them voted for.
Isn't it liberals who keep telling us that we only fear what we can't understand?
Did I miss something?
What did Trump do that was “crazy?”
