To perform a coup you must get the keys to power and the people with guns on your side. I dont think he or a couple hundred idiots have that kind of capability.
Competency has fundamentally zero bearing on identification of a coup. This was a thousand or more idiots who brought gallows, pipe bombs, and stormed the Capitol violently while chanting threats to leaders and trying to instruct Mike Pence to stop the election.
This was the President standing back and standing while this all happened. This was also a part of a wider conspiracy with the fake electors scheme.
The people with the majority of the guns (and weapons caches nearby), and the power (The President) were indeed in on it.

Trump tries to kill Democracy
You: "Yeah but he didn't succeed this time, so all good!"
If it was a coup attempt be would have been charged if not executed. I trust the courts decision.
Which court's decision? On who?
Was Hitler executed after his failed coup?
The American courts Obviously. On trump.
U sound like an ai thats lost its context
I promise you that I'm better informed on this topic than you are. So go on — which specific court case(s) are you referring to?
Speaking of AI, here's a CAPTCHA check for you:
Also, again, was Hitler executed after his failed coup?
Uve given me no reason to believe that, and u seem to be ideologically captured.
Wow u rrally have lost cobtext. If trump did attemot a coup he would have been charged for such an offense. Such charges do not exist therefore he didnt attemp a coup.
The second link u posted seems to be to an event that never happened.
Also, again, was Hitler executed after his failed coup?
I refuse to answer rhetorical questions. I find if demeaning and insulting.
