I read this earlier today on Reddit - and it actually makes sense. It’s purely speculative, mind you, but it certainly fits with Trump’s harebrained “logic”.

This narrative is coming together like this (in my opinion):

-Trump and Q-conspiracy leadership called loyalists to D.C. en masse on January 6 for violence (including mass executions, as per the top article in this thread). Not coincidentally, both houses of Congress were in session in the Capitol building on the 6th. Once the crowd had assembled in D.C., Trump gathered them at a rally and incited them to march on the Capitol building (aol.com) some of them were carrying nooses and zip ties, some had weapons. Meanwhile Guiliani called for “trial by combat” to settle the election. (independent.co.uk)

- Brand new DoD appointees had deliberately knee-capped the January 6 defensive capacity of the Capitol building earlier in the week (Washington Post paywall-free version, my apologies to the WP, excellent paper): (archive.vn)

- If any members of Congress had been murdered or taken hostage the administration would have declared martial law - as Flynn had been calling for for a week or so now (msn.com) - to ensure “safety and continuity of government”.

- The insiders on this scheme couldn’t deploy the military to do the coup directly (because our career military brass weren’t playing along, thank the Gods), but the administration could make the security apparatus stand down and create a mob to decapitate Congress. It appears that this had been planned for weeks.

Edit: This could all be a conspiracy fantasy, I admit. We have some of the QAnon/PB ringleaders in custody; I imagine the FBI knows a lot more about how this all came down, by now. But just in case, we need this administration out, now.

Again, purely speculative, and of course we’ll almost certainly find out more in the not too distant future.

And I strongly agree that Trump’s gotta go. NOW.
