Is this a black coup exclusively? I mean, is he implying a BLM coup?
If so, that's racist and subject to racial descrimination litigation by class action.
Agreed, but this is systematically an attempt to push the idea of a "revolution".
Anyone with half a brain should realize from the political climate at the moment that if Trump DOES get elected, if he so much as puts a whisker wrong, he'd be the object of a bipartisan impeachment attempt faster than anyone here could likely start the thread.

Why is the word " Coup " being used?
A " Coup " is when fractions within the establishment i.e. The Military or Parties Or Elites Within The Government Apparatus try to take over complete control of a country or state .
This chap is talking either revolt or civil war. Certainly not a " Coup "

Well, it does not appears that he actually called for a coup and who is this white guy at BLM everyone is talking about?
Shaun King is African American.
you are fooling yourself if you think we’re far from having a coup our own selves,” King tweeted. “I’m dead serious.
"we're" and "I'm dead serious" sounds to me that he is calling for one. He wrote it in such a way that sure, "technically" he is not calling for one, but anyone with rational thought should be able to decipher that.

And Obama was qualified because ...?
Look if Hillary whom the FBI admitted committed violations of federal law that render her unfit to hold public office can run for President, then Trump is at least as qualified as she is.
Most of the Founders, many of whom had less education than any of today's candidates, hammered out what became our COTUS, would be laughed out of the arena if they tried to run today, but nevertheless, many of them also became POTUS.
This is true. Trumps main experience is in business and money, which the country needs right now. As far as being qualified, the President has advisers in every given field. They do not need military experience much for instance, because an experienced General would take care of that.
But they need to be able to put together a team of advisers... there is no evidence Trump knows how to do this, given his track record of failed businesses.
“If Donald Trump becomes President, you are fooling yourself if you think we’re far from having a coup our own selves,” King tweeted. “I’m dead serious.”
“God, no!” Hayden exclaimed. “Let me give you a punchline: If he were to order that once in government, the American armed forces would refuse to act.” Maher responded incredulously, “What? Well, that’s quite a statement, sir.” “You cannot—you are not committed, you are not required, in fact you’re required to not follow an unlawful order," Hayden replied. "That would be in violation of all the international laws of armed conflict.” “You’ve given us a great reason not to support Trump. There would be a coup in this country," Maher cracked. Hayden said he was not sure about "a coup." "I think it's a coup that you said it," Maher said Read more: www.politico.com... Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook

Exactly. He's just blowing smoke, I'd suggest because in his little fantasy world he thinks he is relevant.

He isn't calling for it. He's saying he sees it as a potential event if Donald Trump is elected.
There is NO language in that quote "calling" for a coup.
Probably because most people these days don't really bother to learn what a word actually means.
