Given they would not actually need to harm the President, they most likely would not need to engage the Secret Service, whose sole role is the protection of the President and therefore would be unlikely to just stand down if attacked. They WOULD need the US Marine Corps on board, who ultimately protect the President as a military force. I read a novel where someone needed to remove the President and they made a point of taking the CinC of the USMC, to order them to stand down.
On TV and in Films (obviously this hasn't happened in real life yet) they have a habit of using Section 4 of the 25th amendment to install the Vice President as President. This would obviously require Pence to be in on it as well. Certainly congress wouldn't be an issue, even his own side won't vote for him.
What would trigger them actually doing it? Almost certainly either failure to respond to a major threat, i.e. a Russian invasion of the Baltic states, which is what people are really worried about with all the interference rumours, or a disproportionate response to a major threat, i.e. pre-emptive nuclear strike on NK..
If we had another Cuban missile crisis, the subtlety that resolved it peacefully would be beyond Trump, so something like that would be the likely trigger.
It wont happen in NK though. The NK regime knows that a nuclear attack on Guam would lead to a Pyongjang sized fireball, and the end of their regime, so it won't happen. A Conventional strike would lead to an overwhelming US response and give the US an excuse to use their stock of fuel air bombs to take out their precious buried nuclear facilities, they dont want that either.
I might be wrong. But if true, shows it can be done.

There is a film about the incident too...
However in the current context, there's a difference between a Soviet system falsely detecting a launch and an American Narcissist deciding he wants to launch a real one.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

The album artwork was supposed to represent a dreamlike version of a post-nuclear world.
My brother in law designed it for us, with me smoking big fat cigars walking in circles behind him throwing ideas out!
