How does the head of government lead a coup against himself?

That is unironically a thing, it's called a self-coup and it has happened a lot throughout history.

The usual goal is for someone who holds a constitutionally limited post (whether a president, or a constitutional monarch, or whatever) to get rid of those limits and rule by decree.

Not saying Trump wants to do this (in fact the Dems are much closer to it with their plans to pack the court), but it is a thing that's been done.

Now, hang on. What you're describing is effectively a False Flag operation. The coup isn't designed to ever succeed. It's designed to be put down and to justify further action.

In Trump's case, the "coup" is supposed to be successful. But again: this doesn't make sense because he's currently in power.

You don't try to lead a successful coup against yourself.

To call this a self-coup, you'd have to argue that Trump literally created the voter fraud, in order to accuse Biden of it, in order to win the election, and then criminalize Democrats and institute Cheeto Tyranny.
