Again we are ignoring the true import of one of Trump's outrages.

Since his candidacy Trump has been creating and empowering white nationalists with dog whistles and refusals to condemn. The right-wing media has been increasingly calling Trump an embattled president threatened by the deep state conspiracy to remove him from office. They have both advocated violence.

Nothing new: racism, violence, setting up "enemies"

What's new is he is finally putting to use these parts of his administration.

Charlottesville and NK events were planned and executed as Trump is facing the biggest threat to his administration, his family and his political life: the investigations he has been unable to stop.

Other dictators have faced the same problem of internal opposition and solved it the same way as Trump is trying to. They have organized armed bands to attack "enemies" of the state/regime then used the "violence" to revoke civil rights.

In 8 months Trump has a DoJ that is willing accomplice in the destruction of a democratic state, a Republican party that is acting as a "one-party" state, and . . .a media that has completely missed the true goal of Trump's administration. He is not here to govern; he is here to destroy democracy. And he is using "legitimate" means.

By the way, for those who think that Trump is too "stupid" to organize a coup, dictators need no handbook or classes in Dictatorship 101. Lust for power is innate in their personalities.
