as we've never had a cabinet attempt a coup against a president it is unclear if the secret service/military would side with the coup or potus. testing that theory when we are under threat of a nuclear exchange is...unwise.

if sec def or whoever tells trump they're not firing the missiles and he says "you're fired" and then is confronted with the full cabinet saying "no, you're fired" it's a really bad time to test whether the secret service/military follow trump's orders to "shoot the traitors" or the cabinet's order to "arrest and remove trump"

i mean, they're people, not robots. common sense would dictate that they would not be okay with the world ending in nuclear loving hellfire. if it came down to that, it seems pretty blindingly obvious to me that they'd side with the cabinet, especially if it was a unanimous decision.
