Trump Criticized For Calling House Impeachment Inquiry A ‘Coup’

President Donald Trump called Democrats’ impeachment inquiry a “coup” on Tuesday.

“As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP…” Trump tweeted.

In a thread of tweets, technologist Tom Coates tweeted that “this is not an attack on democracy, it is explicitly in defense of it.”


“No. You’re panicking to the point where you’re prepared to throw out any words you can, in the hope of riling up your excitable base,” tweeted author Michael Marshall Smith. “It’s not a ‘coup’. It’s a long-overdue reckoning.”


Trump had previously referred to the Mueller probe as a coup as well.

“They tried for a coup, it didn’t work out so well. And I didn’t need a gun for that one, did I?” Trump said in April at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting.
