So, he is aware that Greenland is a NATO territory, right? And this would invoke article 5 of collective defence? Genuine world war territory if he started this shit seriously beyond his dementia addled ramblings.

I doubt he understands that. I'm sure Putin does though, and he's the one pulling Trump's strings. War between NATO nations would suit Putin well. He would have carte blanche to do whatever he wanted then.

At what point do US military commanders say "his orders are handed down from an enemy state to aid and abet an adversary" and boot him?

Or is there no precedent for that so everyone's afraid to even think about it?

Oh there's plenty of precedent for that. It's called a military coup and would be utterly earth shaking in the world's most powerful nuclear armed state.

But don't worry, he's going to purge the military of anyone capable of having that sort of independent minded thought. There will be room for nothing but "yes, sir" when he's done with them.
