We have literally couped countless countries for control of their resources and tested drugs on our citizens without their knowledge or consent. Our CIA agents are regularly caught meddling in other peoples affairs. Amongst many other awful things. You are correct that the Trump administration is not so shadowy about their plots (as far as we know) but American has a long standing tradition of shadowy plots.
Which hardly stands for anything anymore when they're doing their plans with tiki torches.
The tiki torches aren't really part of the shadowy plots so much as they are secondhand effects of the staggering inequality. The top-heavy hierarchy of wealth demands its attendant true-believers, who also tend to have other inequitable feelings about how things ought to be.
