Trump Telling Allies He Expects To Be ‘Reinstated’ By August, NYT Reporter Claims

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump “has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August.”

Haberman tweeted a video Tuesday from CNN that showed apparently QAnon-influenced Trump supporters expressing support for a Myanmar-style coup to reinstate the former president. Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn denied advocating for such a coup on Monday following reports that he had done so at a recent convention, according to The Hill.

An audience member asked why a coup had not happened in the U.S. Flynn responded, “No reason. I mean it, it should happen here.” He has since reportedly said there is “NO reason whatsoever for any coup in American, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort.”
