Potus still wants to do this as peacefully as possible. He believes that they can be brought down on their own accord. Shitstain was made an example of to put them in panic, so they make mistakes and fail.
The best case is that we all wake up and keep them in check without military having to do anything further. The truth will eventually catch up.
Mediocre case is some or most of us remain asleep, and something must be done, perhaps by tribunal. The truth catches us more quickly, but, lies also run rampant and forcing people to learn doesnt work for long.
I think we already avoided the worst case where nobody wakes up.
An analogy.
Catch a fish, they are fed for a day
Teach to fish, they are fed for a generation
