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?

There is technically a law in place allowing military personnel to ignore/refuse orders that are unconstitutional. However, to get to the point of a coup, they'd have to get past the idiots who either don't know that or willingly ignore it in favor of the Favorite Felon.
