1. What's the cutoff point.

Doesn't he have to dress up a goofy military uniform? Oh wait . . .

3. definitions

cabal - A conspiratorial group of plotters or intriguers: "Espionage is quite precisely ita cabal of powerful men, working secretly" (Frank Conroy).

junta - A group of military officers ruling a country after seizing power.

I still like cabal, seeing as how most people in the Shrubbery are not actually military officers, being chicken-hawks. But junta does explain the seizure of power through extr-legal means.
I am sticking with cabal.

6. Oh, definitely a cabal, but with the "I'm commander in thief, so whatever

I do is, de facto, legal" line, he introduces the military power angle, so junta becomes appropriate, doesn't it?

8. In any case, their all fascists, according to Benito Mussolini.

"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." I hope I live long enough to see their chickens come home to roost.
