I imagine a new capital wouldn't be formed, but rather federal agencies would be split up and sent to many out of the way cities, which Trump has talked about doing in the past (in the context of reducing congestion and draining the swamp). In that case perhaps DC gets re-vamped and only the parts of the government that absolutely need to be there get to stay (executive/legislative/judicial branch, maybe state dept) and everyone else gets kicked out to the sticks. Or we could have a multi-capital situation like South Africa, with each branch in a different city. Who knows. If Trump goes through with this we'd essentially have a clean slate to work with. Hell, we could get a whole new Constitution out of the deal (old one just doesn't work anymore, for obvious reasons)
