As pro-Trump media continue to call impeachment a "coup d'état," worth noting the process is pretty much the opposite of one. A coup implies an ILLEGAL, maybe violent, overthrow of gov't. Impeachment is the LEGAL, Constitutional process laid out by founders for removing POTUS.
For those not paying attention, this "coup" language has blanketed pro-Trump media as of late. From Tucker Carlson to Mark Levin to Breitbart to Rush Limbaugh to The Gateway Pundit to "Fox & Friends." It's everywhere.
And the circle is now complete: Trump repeats the claim, which has been all over right-wing media in recent days, that he might be the victim of a "coup."
Now, of course, the same personalities/outlets who asserted there was a "coup" taking place will likely repeat Trump's tweet. The feedback loop in action. Round and round we go.
