I did a quick googling, couldn't find anything that said Trump was connected to a coup in Bolivia

Always good to ask for a source.

From reading your article, seems like your beef is more towards the OAS than the US. Unless you believe the OAS is controlled by the US? There is debate whether OAS claim of vote rigging was accurate or not. Your author (the left-wing CEPR guy) says it was not accurate and led to the coup. We also have the EU supporting the OAS claim.

The OAS report contended that the results were marred by "clear manipulation" and significant irregularities leading to the 2019 Bolivian political crisis. Bolivian president Evo Morales resigned soon after, having lost the confidence of the country's military in what he described as a coup.[11]

Some media outlets debated whether it should be referred to as a coup.[12]

On 21 December, the Technical Mission of Electoral Experts sent by the European Union published a 67-page report made similar observations and conclusions to that of the OAS. They noted that "there were minutes with an unusually high number of null votes, blank votes and a hundred percent participation of voters in a series of polling stations" and highlighted the general failure of the TSE to declare these irregularities.[13][14]

Studies commissioned by the American left-leaning[15][16][17] think tank CEPR argued that the OAS report's statistical analysis was inaccurate and unreliable.[18] The author of the OAS's vote return analysis stated that the CEPR's explanation of the results was implausible.[19]

The organization has been criticized by Mexico[20] and the CEPR[21][better source needed] for their perception of interference into the internal affairs of Bolivia.[22]
