Yeah, well, I did include a similar implication in my original text (a purge of hostile Congressfolk during that sixty days), but I took it out for being just a hair too paranoid and snarky.

Michael Kurland, The Last President, 1980:  alternate Watergate, "Deep Throat" found out and murdered, reporter driven to suicide, and finally the president or one of his top aides gets too fed up with Congress and it's tac-nuke time....

Then again, I'm sure it won't be anyone who could conceiveably retaliate, or anyone that could conceiveably have a friend retaliate in their favour, that gets nuked. That's how bullies work.

Which is why I asked who ordnance thought was going to nuke D.C.-----
I finally quit drinking for good.  Now I drink for EVIL!

And as I said, who ever decides to lob an ICBM in response to Trump's kicking off a nuclear exchange. Btw, plating a tac nuke in or under the capitol building is not practical anymore. Not with all the ground security. Now plowing a 747 or equivalent size aircraft into the building OTOH...
Edit Oh this is rich:

During their private White House meeting on Thursday, [President] Obama
walked his successor through the duties of running the country, and Mr.
Trump seemed surprised by the scope, said people familiar with the
meeting. Trump aides were described by those people as unaware that the
entire presidential staff working in the West Wing had to be replaced at
the end of Mr. Obama’s term.

Considering that the #never trump movement has a large part of the national security establishment, it'll be interesting to see  how they are going to find 4000 competent people in short order. Trump's fueher prinzip seems to be workng perfectly.
