See main article: 2021 United States Capitol insurrection
On 6 January 2021, near the end of his presidential term, Trump rallied his supporters to storm the United States capital in an attempt to reconsolidate his power. The attack ultimately failed and Trump's term came to a close.[7]
According to an analysis on Medium, the Capitol insurrection was a coup attempt by Trump. They argue that "6 January was an attempted coup, in the sense it was designed to trigger martial law and the suspension of the transition."[8]
