The liberal media hasn’t been great at predicting coups and insurrections, but that doesn’t stop them from spouting off. They told us that Trump supporters were going to take over the Capitol on March 5 and when that didn’t happen they switched the date to March 20. Obviously that never happened either, but they are totally serious that Trump is going to stage a coup in August.
Those poor “journalists” in the liberal media have nothing to write about because of the rules against reporting on Biden so they go back to doing what they do best: making up shit about Trump. Here’s New York Times writer Maggie Haberman showing that Trump Derangement Syndrome, unlike COVID-19, is still a serious issue:
Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn’t how it works but simply sharing the information). https://t.co/kaXSXKnpF0

This is actually a fake news twofer: you got the NYT saying Trump thinks he’ll be president again in August on top of a CNN piece about how QAnon Trump supporters believe there will be a coup to reinstate him.
Of course, these are 2 “news” sources that have constantly been wrong in reporting things that people allegedly heard Trump say so maybe these anonymous sources should be taken with a grain of salt the size of New York. There’s an almost zero percent chance that people close to Donald Trump secretly confide in Maggie Haberman or anyone at the NYT.
Despite the dubious nature of this hot news item, the rest of the liberal media has picked it up as fact:
The Washington Post: A surreal, submerged, conspiratorial, Trump-centered political universe still thrives
The Independent: Trump expects to be ‘reinstated’ by August amid coup suggestions from supporters
Forbes: Trump Telling People He Expects To Be ‘Reinstated’ As President By August
MSNBC: With anti-election crusade, Trump reportedly has an endgame in mind
Yahoo! News: Despite his predictions, Trump won’t simply be reinstated as president
Business Insider: Trump is telling people he thinks he’ll be ‘reinstated’ as president in August, according to a report
According to a report? Do they mean that made up tweet from Maggie Haberman? This is what qualifies as a trusted source in the liberal media these days.
Naturally this fake news has translated into real hysteria on the left. Here’s Huffington Post writer Kimberly Johnson sounding the alarm:
Prepare for another violent attack from the MAGA terrorists.
Take this seriously. Do not write this off. They did it on 1/6 and didn’t get their way. They *will* do it again. https://t.co/dXf76bind5

And Obama’s “Muslim guy” Dean Obeidallah:
“Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August” per NY Times.
Trump is plotting another coup. Period. Do NOT dismiss this as simply chatter. Trump is a terrorist like Bin Laden. Trump will continue unless arrested!— (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) June 1, 2021
And lefty journalist Seth Abramson:
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Is Now Privately Confirming His Support of a Summer Coup of the Biden Administration; If the Former President Has Engaged in Even a Single Act to Advance This Treacherous Plot He is Guilty of Seditious Conspiracy and Must Be Arrested Immediately https://t.co/L8sAyH0ozn

Trump can’t even get reinstated on Twitter or Facebook but he’s totally going to stage a coup in August and get reinstated as President of the United States. Sounds plausible. Not!
At least the liberal media has found something to pretend to freak out about for the next couple of months instead of reporting on Biden’s God awful presidency. When this much-hyped coup fails to materialize in August the fake news industry will be back to square one with nothing to write about. Either that or they’ll just move the coup date to November.
