BREAKING : Former Obama Official Calls for “Military Coup” Against President Trump
The left is unhinged.
Rosa Brooks is a former Obama official.
In a blog post she wrote for Foreign Policy magazine, Brooks outlined different ways to “get rid” of President Trump.
Brooks suggests declaring him “mentally unfit” for command or carrying out a military coup.
The coup might be difficult since most of the Military not only voted for Trump but love and support him as well.
From Breitbart
Brooks is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation, which is funded by billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. She served from 2009-2011 as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and served as a senior adviser at Obama’s State Department.
Her posting is titled “3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020,” although the piece actually outlines four ways.
In what seems to be a deliberate tactic, Brooks repeatedly questions Trump’s mental stability, claiming that the president’s first week in office “has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared.”
Brooks, who is not a mental health professional, offered no evidence for her armchair psychological evaluation other than citing policies that she doesn’t like.
Remember those optimistic pre-inauguration fantasies? I cherished them, too. You know: “Once he’s president, I’m sure he’ll realize it doesn’t really make sense to withdraw from all those treaties.” “Once he’s president, surely he’ll understand that he needs to stop tweeting out those random insults.” “Once he’s president, he’ll have to put aside that ridiculous campaign braggadocio about building a wall along the Mexican border.” And so on.
Nope. In his first week in office, Trump has made it eminently clear that he meant every loopy, appalling word — and then some.
Brooks listed four ways to get rid of a “crummy” president.
- Elect him out of office after his four-year term. “But after such a catastrophic first week, four years seems like a long time to wait,” she wrote.
- Impeachment. However, she lamented, “impeachments take time: months, if not longer — even with an enthusiastic Congress. And when you have a lunatic controlling the nuclear codes, even a few months seems like a perilously long time to wait.”
- Utilizing a claim of mental instability to invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which sets the path for the commander-in-chief’s removal if the “president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
- A military coup. She writes: “The fourth 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.”
Regarding her suggested military coup, a creative Brooks proposes preposterous scenarios that she fears Trump might try to play out:
What would top U.S. military leaders do if given an order that struck them as not merely ill-advised, but dangerously unhinged? An order that wasn’t along the lines of “Prepare a plan to invade Iraq if Congress authorizes it based on questionable intelligence,” but “Prepare to invade Mexico tomorrow!” or “Start rounding up Muslim Americans and sending them to Guantánamo!” or “I’m going to teach China a lesson — with nukes!”
When it comes to invoking the 25th Amendment, Brooks argues for appealing to the “ambitions” of Vice President Mike Pence.
That Amendment states:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
“Surely Pence wants to be president himself one day, right?” Brooks writes. “Pence isn’t exactly a political moderate — he’s been unremittingly hostile to gay rights, he’s a climate change skeptic, etc. — but, unappealing as his politics may be to many Americans, he does not appear to actually be insane. (This is the new threshold for plausibility in American politics: ‘not actually insane.’)”
During the 2016 presidential campaign, opponents of Trump similarly attempted to delegitimize his policies by raising questions about his mental health. As I wrote at the time, the template for such attacks may have been set more than five decades ago when such claims were deployed against Senator Barry Goldwater during his 1964 presidential campaign, which was widely considered a threat to the political establishment.
That theme has continued into Trump’s first two weeks in office.
Earlier this week, U.S. News and World Report ran a story titled, “Temperament Tantrum: Some say President Donald Trump’s personality isn’t just flawed, it’s dangerous.”
Apparently violating the so-called Goldwater Rule, established by the American Psychiatric Association after similar attacks against Goldwater, the magazine quoted numerous health care professionals attempting to categorize Trump’s mental stability. The APA’s Goldwater Rule forbids psychiatrists from commenting on someone’s mental status unless they first carry out an examination and the doctor is authorized by the patient to speak to the public.
The U.S. News story, for example, quotes John D. Gartner, described as a “practicing psychotherapist who taught psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School” as claiming Trump is “dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president.”
The Independent newspaper this week ran a story that also attempted to diagnose Trump. It was titled, “’Malignant narcisissm’: Donald Trump displays classic traits of mental illness, claim psychologists.” The article similarly cited mental health professionals commenting on Trump’s alleged psychological disorder.
The Independent article partially drew from a New York Daily News story from this week titled, “President Trump exhibits classic signs of mental illness, including ‘malignant narcissism,’ shrinks say.”
“Narcissism impairs his ability to see reality,” Dr. Julie Futrell, a clinical psychologist, told the newspaper while pointing out that she never actually treated Trump.
During Goldwater’s candidacy, the campaign to distort the public’s perception of the politician culminated in an infamous 1964 article in Fact Magazine, which surveyed members of the American Psychiatric Association, or APA, on Goldwater’s mental stability, though none of the psychiatrists had personally examined the presidential candidate.

Is this woman stupid? Does she knows that the Military LOVES Trump
SOunds like she’s the unhinged one and no grounds for anything stated. Pres. Trump is doing a more than fantastic job, especially considering the failed state of the democrats and their temper tantrums
Fantasy. Delusion and most of all Psychotic Obama follower…. America is on the way to rebirth with the possibly greatest president Trump inUS history.
That bitch is crazy. I could get half a dozen head shrinkers to say so. Doesn’t make President Trump Crazy either. He has never been given a MMPI TEST or Equivalent to one. No one has ever asked that he take one so there. Omg these leftist are soooooo stupid. Like never finished 3rd grade stupid.
Pres. Trump has done more in 13 days to the good of the USA than ANY President in history has done in the past. Democrat liberals are just embarassed that they never did it so just try to make him look bad. They don’t realize we are not idiots like them and we have brains that they don’t have
someone lock these cretins up, what a waste of air
The damn frigging Democrats are the crazy ones. If you would get off your butts and try to work with this man you would probably have more respect from American people. then and only then would we ever turn our backs on President Trump. maybe just maybe if things would happen to start to go south really bad the American people might just have your backs and support your decisions. Right now that is not the case because to most Americans you are the reason for every problem that is happening in this country right now. I as an American right now is ashamed and appalled at you democrats. Do the jobs you were elected to do and stop your damn whining. Get to hell to work or shut your mouth and fins another profession. One passed off American that is tired of this BS.
BE WARNED: At this time, there are–indeed–shadowy figures, behind the scene, who are doing whatever it takes to create “CHAOS” and “UNREST” in this country.
Needless to say, these well organized efforts by— “AGENTS”— “OPERATIVES”—“SHEEP LIKE FOLLOERS”—-have GEORGE SOROS significant “MO” which has been seen in–at least–six other countries: unrest, chose and even a change in governments.
The “ADVANCEMENT” of “NWO”— in America—has come to HALT and, consequently, the “PLAN”, of every SOROS likes–shadowy individuals—here and in the Western World, Therefore the attacks are getting more vicious and out of control. I promise when Trump start traveling around the world, you shall see “ORGANIZED” demonstrations against him everywhere.
So, to attack only one “AGENT”, at a time,— such as this woman— is not a solution to more deep rooted “THREAT”, we are facing.
This site and other honest News Outlets MUST START EXPOSING and COMMUNICATING the “REASON”, “PURPOSE” and the “CONNECTION” between the two—to the majority of Americans, who may think these attacks and unrests are only the result of “unhappiness” among certain voters. Every one should “KNOW” and “UNDERSTAND” that there is a more “SINISTER” reason behind all this, and these “SHEEPS” are fallowing the “WOLFS”, knowingly and unknowingly!!
CORRECTIONS: SHEEP LIKE FOLLOWERS .
Agreed SH. Agreed ….well said…
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
Malignant narcissism describes this ethnocentric political hack. She is calling attention to her own need for mental evaluation like a lot of the brainwashed ‘media maddened Libs.
She supports Soros, Obama, Hillary and Globalism. Shall we say enemy of the American people, since we voted in our President?
Nut job!
Fruit cake!!!
Let’s ship the jerk to Guantanamo, try him in a military trial, then execute him. He needs to be made an example.
Sorry! I’m tired of traitors.
Throw her in GITMO stark naked.
These are not her original ideas. The Internet is buzzing with talk of trump being mentally unstable and unqualified to be president. Trump himself wanted his own paid security out side of the secret service…it appeared he didn’t trust them. Trump is not loved by all military. I think trump has valid concerns. people in our great nation and around the world are talking bets as to how soon trump will be impeached or removed from office…. Over half of America is seriously discussing these ideas that are be presented as her own… Ver unoriginal… Very sad…
Sounds like treason to me. Also threatening the President is a crime. She should be in jail for awhile to meditate on her sins and transgressions.
Many more ppl like this one will become exposed the last 8 yrs were filled with this type of thinking and it brings to light the situation this ctry has been put in Its hard to believe that we will ever know what has happened to our Gov all of this smoke is intended to keep covering somebodys butt!
Let these pigeons tweet coup coup, they will never be able to overthrow president-for-life DJT, the ratings machine!!
