There are a number of reports claiming Trump tried to invoke the insurrection act and was basically told "no" by the military. Reading between the lines, I think he walks a much narrower road than most people realize. If he'd said some of the things Biden has said, Trump would have been removed. Hell, they tried to remove him for the "crime" of investigating Biden's crimes.
Remember when a few officials came out and said they flat out disobeyed orders and lied to not pull out of the Middle East?
Like, just imagine straight up ignoring the Commander's Orders and then getting to come out and laugh about it. Just continuing a forever war and getting good men killed to spite the president and get some media backpats.
The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable.
See also the Hunter Biden story. (and the follow-up with Bobulinski) Sincere or not, I think Trump's team and the Chinese leakers were shocked that nobody except the NY Post picked it up. Apparently the media has collectively grown up and "sex sells" no longer drives them.
