That's coups, plural.

While arguing that the Capitol riot on January 6th of last year was not an attempted coup but rather just Trump stumbling around trying to look after his own interests, Bolton hastened to pull authority on the matter when Tapper suggested that he might not be correct about how coups work.

"I disagree with that," Bolton said. "As somebody who has helped plan coups d'etat — not here, but, you know, other places — it takes a lot of work, and that's not what [Trump] did."

Places. Plural.

Tapper just let Bolton's remark slide like he didn't just admit to something extraordinarily fiendish, but did eventually follow up with a request that the former National Security Advisor elaborate.

"I do want to ask a follow up," Tapper said. "When we were talking about what is capable, or what you need to do to be able to plan a coup, and you cited your expertise having planned coups."
