The effect would have hurt and angered our allies - especially in Germany. Congress would have exploded in partisan accusations creating chaos at home.

Lucky for all of us, it didn't happen. Bit it was close. It was a case of a lame duck president intent on hurting the country that had booted him out of office.

The military establishment was aghast when word got out of Trump's intentions. It would have completely realigned our foreign relations.

Trump was determined to derail the election and no act was too low. His resistance culminated in a coup attempt at the Capitol on January 6th.

If high officials in the military hadn't intervened the United States would be paying the price today.

The Trump threat to democracy continues. He's torn the Republican Party into pieces with his Big Lie and plans on holding hate rallies again in June.

Until justice catches up to Trump in the many lawsuits against him, he'll be a thorn in our nation's side.
