In East Africa (Kenya and Uganda) the news is covering Trump as a changemaker without mentioning opposition or effect of his changes. This coverage from Reuters has a very factual tone, without opinion but also without context. It gives the impression that a president simply can make many changes without checks and balances:

In other areas which are paywalled, the cancellation of USAID is decried, but I am trying to link articles I have read.

One of the largest publications in Brazil, A Folha do Sao Paulo, stops short of calling it a coup. The opinion, which spends quite a bit of review of the USian system of governance, tells readers about the abdication of the legislative body, "São legisladores com medo de ser cancelados pelo presidente e perder em primárias nas próximas eleições. (They are legislators who fear being cancelled by the president and primaried in the next elections)." The author, Patricia Campos Mello, tells readers about Vance's comments that the courts have no right to limit the power of the executive branch. But short of calling it a coup, she says it is up to the people of the United States to decide whether the Overton Window needs to slide back - "Mas será que os americanos estão prontos para um regime pré-monarquista, em que um Executivo superpoderoso desdenha dos tribunais, e, em vez de recorrer, descumpre ordens judiciais?

Desta vez, o preço de escancarar a janela de Overton pode ser uma crise constitucional. (But will it be that the USian people are ready for a pre-monarchical regime in which the all-powerful executive branch ignores the courts and, instead of appealing, ignores judicial orders? This time, the price of throwing open the Overton Window could be a Constitutional crisis. )"

The French newspaper, Le Monde, stops short of calling it a coup. They acknowledge the shock and awe of Trump's executive orders and the take over of several departments by unelected Musk. Short of a coup, they warn that the feeble ramparts of the judiciary may be tested beyond their strength, with the Vice President already calling for the courts to be ignored.
