Rush Limbaugh has an interesting theory on how the GOP is trying to take Donald Trump 'out

Rush Limbaugh, nationally syndicated conservative radio show host, during the Tuesday broadcast of his show, accused the "Washington establishment" of plotting a "silent coup" in order to oust President Donald Trump.

Limbaugh, discussing Trump's presidency, claimed that ever since Trump was elected, the established Washington power players "began to circle the wagons," and from that day forward, Trump was not going to be "allowed to triumph on anything."

Intimating that success would be by a very narrow margin — if at all — Limbaugh added, "There was no way that this establishment was going to permit an outsider to come in and clean house and show how Washington can work and blow their cover for the last how many decades."

Limbaugh noted that it doesn't necessarily mean that a draining of the swamp can't be done, but that the Washington elite "weren't going to help this along."

"They were not going to contribute," he added. "They were not going to make this easy for Trump."

The radio host even went as far as to say that the election of Trump "has never been about" the president "unifying the Republican party in order to beat the Democrats."

"That's been the mistake," Limbaugh said. "That's not the fight here. The fight is Donald Trump and his cadre and you, the Trump base, versus the Washington establishment. It has always been that and nothing more."

Later during the airing, Limbaugh doubled down on remarks that something nefarious is afoot within the "Washington establishment."

"We're in the midst of a silent coup," he said. "These people are trying to take this president out. And everybody understands that. So why in that circumstance do you think that the same people trying to destroy Donald Trump are going to help him get rid of Obamacare? Are going to help him reform the tax code? They're not. They are going to have to be defeated, not worked with. There isn't any cooperation."
