Trump led the attack, and has motivated an insurgency. The coup is the cooperation between insurgents and the security force. That's why the media is covering the selfie.

Trump is currently not mentally-ill enough to be unfit for the Presidency. Of course, that's decided at the Capitol, so it may change after he directed violence toward it.

And Fox News agrees with other outlets about the circumstances of five deaths.

This article is about NATO contemplating what it would mean to bring financial sanctions against the USA under the circumstances of a successful coup.

No, it's decided in the White House Cabinet Room (well, metaphorically; by the VP and Cabinet, wherever they are located) initially, under the 25th Amendment; Congress isn't involved until he says he's all better after he's been temporarily removed, where if the Cabinet disagrees Congress resolves the dispute.

Whether he is too criminal to continue in office is decided in the Capitol, through the impeachment process, though.
