Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

    This is an internal coup, there’s no doubt about it. I’m not sure how the oligarchs are letting this happen. It’s insane. Their regret will not make me happy.

        Oligarchs are not unified. Some companies are heavily disaffected like pharmaceuticals thanks to RFK. Tariffs will also hurt most businesses’ bottomline. Trump’s policies only benefit certain oligarchs (tech companies and Musk) so the other oligarchs who get pissed off will band together to support someone friendlier.

      They’re letting it happen because he is supporting the oligarchy, giving tax breaks to people who don’t need them, etc.
