The real deal Constitutional crisis imo is when Trump really loses his **** and tries to nuke someone or arrest Bezos because the Washington Post is bothering him or whatever, and one or some group of his Babysitters has to contradict him and overrule him in some completely unconstitutional way. We all might cheer for his adult supervisors to step in and overrule him but that is like pretty brazenly illegal if people stop following Presidential orders and the chain of command runs through Kelly or Mattis or whatever.
I think its pretty worrisome and quite realistic that Trump tweets out something that is either a direct declaration of war or something that can interpreted as such. I think that's more likely than him trying to actually do something militarily that can be seen as an act of war.
Meantime, it seems like Mattis and Co. are already essentially overruling Trump's edict on transgenders in the military(his only real military decision) by leaving the ball in the White House court and asking for additional direction before taking action. In other words, I don't think any changes will be made and his order will fade into the background like so many other crazy tweets have.
