Former President Donald Trump is reportedly telling people that he expects to get reinstated by August, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman .
Haberman shared this rather stunning detail in a quote tweet of a CNN segment featured in a tweet from Donie O'Sullivan . The video features a number of QAnon followers lauding a Myanmar-style coup of the US government ostensibly to replace President Joe Biden with Trump.
Haberman wrote in her quote tweet "Trump has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will be reinstated by August" with an important parenthetical caveat that states "(no that isn't how it works but simply sharing the information)."

Her comments do not come in a vacuum either. A number of Trump toadies have made similar comments before and during the QAnon conference that was held in Dallas, Texas over the weekend.
Former National Security Advisor to Trump Michael Flynn (who pled guilty to lying to federal investigations before being pardoned) appeared to argue on behalf of a Myanmar-style coup during the QAnon conference. A biker vest clad Sidney Powell also stated during the QAnon conference that Trump should be reinstated as president. Why? Because according to the former Trump attorney there was "abject fraud and obtaining a coup of the United States of America." There was not.

And lest we forget Mike Lindell, founder of MyPillow and massive advertiser on Fox News prime time. He insisted during a podcast with Steve Bannon last week that " Donald Trump will be back in office in August," vowing to file a lawsuit that will confirm evidence of voter fraud during the 2020 election.
So Flynn, Powell, and Lindell are all advocating some sort of reinsertion of Trump into office, though there is no Constitutional way for that to happen. But according to the reliably well-sourced Haberman, Trump himself is promoting the idea that he will be back in office by late summer.
The idea that Trump would be reinstated into the White House is so absurd that it abuts "impossible" to happen. But the reason to amplify this story is to illustrate just how far gone many QAnon followers and their leaders—including Trump—appear to be in their delusion. And the surprisingly large number of supporters who keep buying it.

Putting two and two together, it appears the Flynn led military coup will be coming in August.
cool. tree leaves won't be the only colorful things that lay stinking all over the ground in the fall.
Maybe he will get a Douglas Neederman (Animal House) pulled on him.
His horse shot in Maralago or fragged by his own troops?
I'd hit a driver into his foursome without a second thought.
Actually, the horse died of a heart attack when Flounder shot the gun in the air. It had blanks.
To me, the funniest part was the look on the secretary's face when he turned on the chainsaw. The actor who played Flounder was so cool and he left us way too soon. Bruce McGill (D Day) was such a hunk.
Flounder was played by Stephen Furst, who also played Vir Cotto on Babylon 5.
LOL! I know. I was trying to be funny...and it fell flat once again. BTW, I think that's one of my favorite scenes
Trump and his Q-anon crowd are reminding me of all those preachers that keep announcing the date of the Rapture. Then when it doesn't happen, they change the date. Yet all the followers keep believing despite the fact it has never happened, and they have been wrong every single time.
Funny thing is I bet a good number of QAnon idiots are also religious nut jobs. It takes the exact same type of “thinking” for both sets of absurd beliefs.
Why would Christians embrace conspiracy theories?
Too much sacrificial wine and snorting holy water.
August will come and go without anything happening and then they'll come out with another fairy tale date just to string along the dolts that actually believe this bullshit.
The imbecile can't accept the fact that he LOST BIGLY. So let's be seditious and try to overthrow the US government. Real patriotic of them.
Don't forget the grift factor..... As long as he has believers, the fleecing will continue.
I guess he will dump Malania for Powell as she spouted this crap to begin with.
no plastic surgeon in NYC or Beverly Hills could ever fix that mess...
Her face could make Stevie Wonder puke.
bwah ha ha ha
Trump Redux, director's cut? Time to poison the popcorn.
Given the increasing lunacy of his comments, he might be committed by August.
We can only hope his fat ass will be behind bars
Remember, it can only happen if his supporters send him enough money.
As should those who still think he won the election.
Maybe they can teach him how not to put his pants on backwards instead of basket weaving.
It’s amazing how people can say something so obviously impossible with a straight face.
I hope he shows up there with his Barbie backpack and bucket of KFC and tries to enter the WH. The Secret Service will be on him like white on rice and cuff him. Then make him watch while they eat the KFC.
odds are better of him leaving a stain on the asphalt somewhere than being "reinstated" to the office.
He already left a shit stain on the US that we may never erase.
There is not enough Ozium in the world to do that.
This is QAnon applying elements of “the Secret” to their wants. Just keep telling it to the universe and the universe will provide it for you. Good luck with that - the universe still owes me ten million bucks.
Does anyone remember Sarah Palin?
Sure ... she was the Last of the Funny Republicans.
Yeah. How is her husband and family doing? They still have that trailer down by the creek?
They have made attending drunken BBQ's into an art form.
Leave Sarah Palin alone !!!! (Tears sloppily rolling down my cheeks into my mouth. Okay, I couldn't resist this once.)
And what is wrong with drunken Bar-B-Q's? I'll have you know it's the favorite pastimes of Southern rednecks and hillbillies...some Northern ones, too
No one was drunk until they showed up and did tutorials.
She could see Russia from her front porch, and was probably the real reason John McCain lost the election.
Okay, the "front porch" thing was just a joke, but I don't think the rest of my comment was.,
"They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." - Sarah Palin
So no, she didn't say she could see Russia from her house, but she did say something damn close in response to the question "What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?" which is why Tina Fey's parody of her stuck.
Her actual comment was still mind numbingly stupid.
It's interesting that some NTers are just fine with approximation when they themselves are kinda-sorta-but-not-accurately reformulating someone's words... but are outraged ... outraged I say! ... when someone else does the same.
Tina Fey's line was so effective because it was close to Palin's own words, and conveyed the half-term governor's scatter-brained ditziness.
Defending her is.. fun to watch...
Okay let us settle this once and for all. Little Diomede Island is a little isolated sliver in the middle of the Bering Strait and it is a remarkably unique place. This location means you really can see Russia from Alaska! Little Diomede Island is located in the middle of the Bering Strait and it is a part of Alaska in the United States of America
Saturday Night Live does!
(Video is from Sept 2013 so some of the things they refer too may have faded from our memories...but the excellence of SNL's satire is outstanding as usual!):

This is the way I want to remember Sarah Palin: having fun like it's 202_ baby!
Sarah Palin Shocks Everyone by Rapping on 'The Masked Singer'
Note 1: Okay! It's a real joy to watch Sarah loosen up and join the rest of our world if for only a moment. But then, it is a sinful pleasure of mine to watch Nick Cannon twerking that "healthy butt" - Baby Got Back!*
Note 2: I am only funning around. Nick is safe from me. My 'day' for that is ended. (Smile.)
Who dipped her in the cotton candy machine?
I saw that show & believe it or not she wasn't too bad. Never guessed it was her.
LOL!
Maybe she should have stuck to entertainment and forgot about politics
It is hard to tell the difference between politics & entertainment lately.
She had a speckled--moment: Good for her! Sarah Palin finally 'got it'! Life is not a drab moment that we should drag ourselves through tortuously.
I actually saw that episode and thought...You go girl!
Isn't that what she did? Entertainment and grifting?
Grifting, yes, but I never thought she was very entertaining. People that stupid make me cringe when they open their mouths
The costuming on that show is amazing.
As long as General Milley doesn't agree, we're probably OK.
As if we believe her after saying no rational people would believe anything she says.
It all so dense and unlawyerly. Or what are we doing now, seeing the alternative world of lawyering? Indecent Lawyers?
Who is going to re-instate him, Ex-General Flynn?
They both should be sharing the same jail cell. Traitors of the same feather drop the soap together.
trump isn't crazy, just extremely desperate, he feels the indictments circling and figures if (magical thinking) he can be reinstated he couldn't be indicted as president. And he doesn't care what it would take, incessant vote recounts, insurrection, Myanmarish coup, whatever.
No. Trump is crazy.
He’s both, and it’s a dangerous combination. He’s a narcissist of epic proportions who wouldn’t even flinch at the prospect of the entire country burning to the ground along side of him.
In the end of all of this-------------THAT will be his best defense.
Trump would burn this country to the ground to stay out of a court that is going to convict him.
Boom boom ain't it great to be crazy? Boom boom ain't it great to be nuts?
Has Flynn become America's Reinhard Heydrich?
And this is what we have been saying all along about sorry "45" being president. He is a delusional fool, who does not take "no" for an answer. Always in your face with his problems and bull patty. And people dare suggest we endure this delusional fool one more time?!! Go away Donald Trump and take your wife and children far, far, away with you. (Since they are complicit (except minor Baron) with you in diminishing this empire and pillar of liberty.)
