I believe it is an attempt to flood the media with excrement. Or, perhaps, throw it against the wall and see what sticks. Either way, it's just a pointless talking point. Irrelevant, and erroneous.

Flood the media? Yes.
See what sticks? Yes.
Erroneous? Yes.
Pointless and irrelevant? Not at all. Talking about Biden’s withdrawal as a coup is very important to Trump and his followers. There is a point and a plan behind this kind of talk.

Trump and his cult need a coup narrative to normalize the idea of a coup. They need it to be normalized so that when they attempt a real coup after the election they will have a better chance of success.

Listen to what Trump and Republicans say and do.

Republicans are putting in place the machinery to contest the election and get it into the House. They’ve run a couple tests of it by refusing to certify some elections over the last year or so. Georgia has made it legal for local election clerks to investigate their results before certifying the election results.

When asked about a peaceful transfer of power, Trump said it would be peaceful if Democrats allow it. The obvious implication is that they might fight if they feel it’s necessary.

This “coup equivalency” is a vital piece of the Trump and MAGA plan to return Trump to the White House in whatever way they can.
