After the USAID thing I called it this morning: Before the end of march the U.S. is a dictatorship in all but name.
To pull this off things have to happen fast, denying anybody the time to react.
USAID was a probing attack, gauge the reactions, develop plans, figure out how to do it better with the next department. You don't start with Homeland Security, the CIA, or the FBI - that's the final part.
Meanwhile, keep everybody busy with 50 different crazy things so they can't organize a concerted effort to resist.
That being said, I'm only half-sold on Greenland and the Panama Canal being a distraction. Once you have complete control you're at the whim of Denmark not revoking access to Thule and Panama not denying passage. Might be both, confuse and prepare.
