Why do you say there is a coup going on? There was a peaceful transfer of power.
A plurality of the electorate voted for Trump to be the leader of the executive branch of the United States [1] and a majority of the electorate voted for the Republican Party to be in charge of the House of Representatives [2] as well.
It only seems like a coup because the policies of the current administration and current Republican Party are drastically different from preceding administrations but sometimes in a democracy these types of radical changes occur. It doesn't make it a coup.
I'm being quite serious here. I see much alarm over the things going on in the US right now but the stuff going on seems to be a result of democracy rather than a threat to it...
