1. If he and the military does have a plan to rectify this obvious attempt at a coup, you'd think they'd not want to give anything away as to location or plans for protection and absolute secrecy. So he and family are absolutely quiet until the plan unfolds. Creating a deep fake video in this scenario only makes sense if it substantially obscures intel that would give away location...which I imagine it does. Or Trump's injured and they can't show that for morale reasons.

2. Or the military and intelligence community have mutinied and locked him and his family up and are playing out the clock until Biden is confirmed. The deep fake video makes sense here as it keeps the rubes (us) placated that the mutiny hasn't occurred.

The only thing that gives me comfort is that the DEMS and GOP are still in a panic mode and that only makes sense in scenario one...unless the mutiny is not in their name and the military want some other leader.

The fact the Trumps aren't communicating and there is a weird video is not comforting. Just my musings on the very confusing matters at hand.
