> recently attempted a coup

This is just more hyperbole and relies on a highly subjective interpretation of a single tweet and blithe expansion of the accepted definition of coup. The least generous but realistic interpretation of those actions is that through poor word choices he incited a riot. You can credibly debate that this was criminal and intentional but to call it an example of a "coup" is flatly absurd.

> his party backs him no matter what

There is astounding and readily available evidence to the contrary. I'm not sure why you think there hasn't been or isn't currently Republican Party members that despise him and openly attempt to undermine him. They're not particularly difficult to find.

> despite his rampant criminality.

It seems like the majority of his actions are within the law. I understand you disagree with his administrative prerogatives but this lens is extremely distorted.

> at least 2 assassination attempts on this individual recently

How that implicates "stability" of a nation is beyond me. Are you prepared to label all prior presidents with successful or unsuccessful assassination attempts as being "unstable?" Is that your bar? Do you not see any connection between your widely held extreme points of view and these extreme actions?

Finally.. what is the source of this instability? That he won an election? That's an odd understanding of politics. One that I think is projected by lazy "news" channels that find it easier to market outrage than they do facts.

> and had one been successful who knows what his remaining supporters would have done in response.

From hyperbole into historically detached flights of fancy.

> The USA is teetering.

All actual available evidence is to the contrary. The economy is strong and the social order isn't. Qui bono? Perhaps you shouldn't focus so much on domestic politics.
