u/Norman_F_Dixon made the observations of something being off about Trump's going to Walter Reed and his return to the WH in early Oct 2020, prior to the Election (technically Electoral appointments, but I digress). The salute to [somebody in] Marine 1 as it turned with its back to the WH, indicating that Trump was returning a salute rather than initiating. POTUS is subordinate to nobody and thus does not initiate salutes.
My running theory was that Trump 25th'd himself during that hospital visit, moving Pence into Acting POTUS to authorize the covert Sting OP, aka the "Election." What better way to green light a clandestine OP when all eyes were on Trump at the hospital? Pence, the nice guy, would never do something so dasting right? RIGHT? Or would he...
Makes much more sense of the Chris Miller comments at the Space Force anniversary a couple months later... "Most complex military operations ever"... what OP would "VP" Pence be part of? VP has absolutely no constitutional authority over military forces... ever. None. Zero. Nadda. However, Acting POTUS does 😉
Maybe not on Jan 6th, but quite likely in October.
Care to expound?

Thanks for the info. I do remember those events.
