Trump is threatening our allies, NATO, and Democracy at Davos. The republicans in congress won't stop this

[lostincalifornia]

megalomaniac, will Europe and our allies actually push back.

So far only Carney in Canada has shown any willingness to do so.

1. Congressional Republicans can stop Trump's madness if they want to, but that's the thing -- they don't want to.

The Republican Party has abandoned democracy; they support his fascist policies.

3. Absolutely. The midterms will be our last hope.

2. They're all afraid of his cult of personality

Which is going to be gone once he is. MAGA is 100% Trump centric. JD Vance, Stephen Miller, none of those guys have that, people mostly find them to be repellant. Something about Trump attracts the magas. I think they're hoping to wait it out so they don't get too much backlash for going against him. Maga is very quick with the death threats if anyone goes against them right now.

4. You are assuming he will go, and make no mistake about it, I fully suspect one of his degenerate sons will try

to take the mantle.

I seriously believe if we don't win at least one house in Congress in the midterms, our democracy will be finished.

5. The MAGAts...

... have stated quite clearly that they want to imprison any Liberals and Progressives they don't kill. MAGAts will go foo-foo in their tutus when they get a taste of their own medicine.
Ah, I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning!

6. He's backed off taking Greenland by force

And Carney is doing the bare minimum- he should be sending troops to Greenland.

Other nations are in the process of responding/retaliating- Denmark’s national pension fund is selling all its US treasury bonds, which caused the yield to jump (which means the price of the bonds, and the value of the dollar, drops) yesterday.

7. I wouldn't bank on that he has "backed off taking Greenland by force". He is a pathological liar, and has indicated

left open what he would do if they don't negotiate giving us Greenland what he would do.

EU right now is delaying their vote on ratifying the trade agreement with us, so we will see what happens.

They are dealing with someone who is insane with power.

8. He is indeed a liar

But more than that, he is a coward.

Trump is clearly reacting to the markets’ turmoil and the EU’s pushback on Greenland.

He is in the middle of his well known TACO process.
