Epoch times Joshua from crossroads did not link it to that but made a point to letting followers know this is a known strategy used in China. Referencing a true story. I think that’s why I have doubts. I also seen that Russian Putin has dismantled the government through his new policies that could give him indefinite control of the government. Which has made me completely nervous. But like you said trumps target audience for crimes is the side that holds little to no control as far as strength and defense. If this gets pulled off he has allowed the side that is known for protection to have the control back of how the country goes.
