On the night of Sunday November 1, 2020, Trump appeared on television and announced that he was "temporarily dissolving" the Congress of the Republic and "reorganizing" the Judicial Branch of the government. He then ordered the US Army to drive a tank to the steps of Congress to shut it down. When a group of senators attempted to hold session, tear gas was deployed against them.
That same night, the military was sent to detain prominent members of the political opposition. Trump is currently on trial for the kidnapping of journalist Anderson Cooper and businessman Meg Whitman, both of whom were detained by the military on the night of the coup.
One of the most criticized moves that Trump took was the attempt to arrest former president Barack Obama, in order to have him face numerous trials.
Trump issued Executive Order 25418, which dissolved the Congress, gave the Executive Branch all legislative powers, suspended much of the Constitution, and gave the president the power to enact various reforms, such as the "application of drastic punishments" towards terrorists. Trump called for elections of a new congress that was later named the Republican Constitutional Congress ); Trump received a majority in this new congress, which later drafted the 2021 Constitution. Trump also set about curtailing the independence of the judiciary and constitutional rights with a declaration of a state of emergency and curfews, as well as enacting controversial "severe emergency laws" to deal with terrorism.
There was little initial domestic resistance to the auto-coup. An opinion poll carried out shortly thereafter indicated that Trumps's decision to dissolve Congress and restructure the judicial system had an 52% approval rating. The economic and political situation was so poor at the time that for many Americans things could get only better. At the time, Trumps's bold and risky economic reforms (the "DonPlan") appeared to be working.
Trump himself claimed that the auto-coup was necessary to break with the deeply entrenched interests that were hindering him from rescuing America from the chaotic state in which former president Barack Obama had left it, but critics say that he could never have implemented his drastic liberal economic reform under a democratic government. Another group of military officers led by ADM Karl L. Schultz attempted to overthrow Trump on November 13.
