That only works until Trump finishes purging the upper ranks of the military, and then gets the Senate to promote Trump loyalists to take their place.

What is a "loyalist"? What president has not put in place people that are loyal to him?

A loyalist privileges their leader over their principles. A patriot is a leader that subordinates themselves to the principles shared with their followers.

In the context of this conversation, a loyalist is obviously someone who will disregard the law and the constitution if Trump orders them to do so.
