I am usually skeptical of the "secret meetings" idea. In the case of Trump, he has been a lifelong thug and gangster, so nothing surprises me about his vile machinations. But I strongly doubt whether the two political parties (who hate one another passionately), senior military officials (who generally have a well-developed sense of honor) and police forces (who are stressed to the max and in many cases have formed a toxic "us vs them" attitude toward the civilians they are charged to protect against crime) have any shared hidden agendas. The problem with most mass conspiracy theories is that they beg huge questions: what's in it for the putative participants, and who is calling the shots, and what is the source of their power over the others?
