At least part of the point is recognizing that this was a credible threat to Putin.

What would it take for the US president to leave Washington DC though? Obviously a real possibility of nuclear war. What else though?

I think 9/11 did. Granted President George W. Bush was famously reading a book to school children when it happened, but I believe he stayed Airborne on Air Force One for several additional hours as a precaution.

Also President Madison evacuated Washington, DC during the War of 1812.

Covid. Trump left for the mountains during the pandemic.
