Just remember, even if the attempted coup is a pathetic failure, it is still an attempted coup.

despot
noun
A ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.

You do amuse me Fuzzy. The very fact that he is failing to do what he wants to do proves that he - and the office of the US president in general - has very little power indeed. In fact, I would say that Trump has been a GOOD example of how many failsafes your system has.

Alright I didn't bother to look up the technical definition of Despot. Thirty lashes with a wet noodle. The point stands.

Your point doesn't stand, as it lacks a third dimension. It just lays around there, completely having fallen flat. Clearspira is absolutely correct in his assessment.
