That’s not webster’s dictionary. Here, let me link it. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coup And if you’re feeling lazy, here’s the definition: 1
: a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group : coup d’état
Since Trump didn’t attempt to overthrow anything, and he certainly didn’t use force, he didn’t attempt a coup.

Haha yeah. Websters dictionary is the sole arbiter of political upheaval and is the singular source of authority on all events, past and present.
Its not like there is an organization that catalogs and studies such events or anything. That would be ridiculous! Oh wait
