That’s what the USA does. Trump is just keeping it old school by having the army do it. During Obama, three Latin American presidents were removed by US-sponsored coups, one was carried out by the military, but they have a strategy of funneling money to USA-aligned parties through “think tanks”, then gaining control of Congress. So if people elect a president the USA doesn’t like, Congress takes power on bogus claims and changes the policies for what the USA wants. If this fails the USA sponsor the military to take power. They carried out a congressional coup during Biden as well, along with a failed military coup.
It doesn’t matter if democrats or republicans are in power, the USA steals the resources from poor countries.

My country, for example, became energy self-sufficient in 2015, the next year the congress removed the president just because they had the majority. We used to have cheap gas because our internal price was linked to production cost and not international markets, the new government thought it was unfair to the free market competition because our own gas was so cheap here, so it started to subsidize American oil companies so they could sell it cheaper and compete with our own oil… yeah, you read that right, we were literally funneling tax payer money to foreign companies just so they could take our companies out of the market so the government could claim they weren’t profitable and should be sold to American investors… thanks Obama.

Capitalism as/is a suppression power.
