This article is about the card game concept. For Donald Trump's attempts to subvert the results of the 2020 US presidential election, see Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. For Trump supporters' breach of the U.S. Capitol, see January 6 United States Capitol attack.
The trump coup is a contract bridge coup used when the hand on lead (typically the dummy) has no trumps remaining, while the next hand in rotation has only trumps, including a high one that would have been onside for a direct finesse if a trump could have been led.[1] The play involves forcing that hand to ruff, only to be overruffed. A similar motive is met in coup en passant, where indirect finesse is used instead of direct.
In an earlier text by George S. Coffin,[2] he names the trump coup as an "Overruff Finesse Endplay".
