Only one flaw in your scenario....the so called "press". As long as they have any legitimacy in the minds of the American people they won't allow Trump to do any of this. They'll report it like it's the worst thing that ever happened. They'll ignore libs and dems, but they won't ignore Trump.
Obviously, anyone who is capable of playing at this level clearly understands the battle lines. The press isn't just aligned with the left; rather, they are a key component of the institutions under their control.
So, sit back, think about the incredible breadth, depth and legal power and control foolishly bequeathed to Trump, and imagine how one would go about systemically destroying the enemy.
To help you out, I'll throw out an easy one: All broadcast is regulated by the FCC. A key mandate for licensure is public interest. If it is discovered that any of the broadcast MSM have received payments from Fusion-GPS and/or other political communications organizations, what happens next?
