Donald John Trump Sr. along with his White Nationalists "Alt-Right" have effectively succeeded in the first coup d'éta of the United States of America by a political agent and its aggressors.
How is this a coup?
For the purpose of this paper I use the Clayton Thyne and Jonathan Powell's database assessment as to the types of coups in the twenty-first century. http://www.jonathanmpowell.com/coup-detat-dataset.html Then using the Predictors of a coup by way of "mentions of ethnic factionalism, supportive foreign governments, leader inexperience, slow growth, commodity price shocks, and poverty." http://aaronbelkin.org/pdfs/articles/Toward%20a%20Structural%20Understanding%20of%20Coup%20Risk.pdf
Relying on these definitions, I list the many actions and mentions by Donald John Trump Sr. which implicates his power grab as a coup.
1. Trump intends to detain or incarcerate his political opponent Hillary Clinton. http://www.pri.org/stories/2016-10-10/trump-made-history-threatening-jail-clinton-if-he-becomes-president
2. Trump has colluded with Newt Gingrich to mislead the American citizen about the 2016 status of the US by echoing the exact statements Newt Gingrich promoted in the Contract with America in 1994. Gingrich said, "It is an objective fact, if you are going to be honest about it, that we are in the middle of the largest moral and societal crisis we have had maybe in the country’s history.
The result has been a breakdown in trust in government. I think there are very deep reasons we are in trouble." http://www.classzone.com/books/am_05_shared/pdf/psource/TAS03_34_1070_PS.pdf
3. Trump aligned with former USSR KGB Agent, now indefinite president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. He along with his White Nationalists "Alt-Right" Party publicly sought Vladimir Putin to manipulate the 2016 presidential general election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/donald-trump-putins-puppet/2016/10/10/451f099e-8f0e-11e6-a6a3-d50061aa9fae_story.html?utm_term=.29c173816c67
4.
