More like a coup.
A coup d'état (/ËŒkuË deɪˈtÉ‘Ë/ (listen); French: [ku deta]), also known by its German name putsch (/pÊŠtʃ/), or simply as a coup, is the overthrow of an existing government by non-democratic means; typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a dictator, the military, or a political faction.[1]
If I was to argue coup it would be a total overthrow of our Republic by corrupt politicians from either political parties for personal gain. The coup is against the country not the president.
In other words we are losing it...…….our Republic. The Republic that we were given if we were able to keep it.

AUTHOR:
Benjamin Franklin (1706–90)
QUOTATION:
“Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?â€
“A Republic, if you can keep it.â€
ATTRIBUTION:
The response is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN—at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation—in the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention.
McHenry’s notes were first published in The American Historical Review, vol. 11, 1906, and the anecdote on p. 618 reads: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.†When McHenry’s notes were included in The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, ed. Max Farrand, vol. 3, appendix A, p. 85 (1911, reprinted 1934), a footnote stated that the date this anecdote was written is uncertain.
