Mr. Trumps proposals to wall off the United States from a variety of foreign influences fit the promises he made to his base of working-class white voters, resentful of how trade and immigration have changed the country they claim as their own.
But Mr. Trump seems not to have grasped how consequential his proposals are. He is offering to kick down the set of understandings that shaped the cooperative equilibrium among the Western market democracies for more than half a century a network of military alliances and trade agreements that underpinned the global order after the end of World War II.
Whats more, he shows no evidence of knowing what kind of alternative order he would like to build in their place. He is proposing a series of self-inflicted wounds with no ulterior goal in mind.

I suggest that, at the end, every single reporter turn his/her back on him and mutter (loudly) "Waste of my fucking time!"

Trump will have burnt all his bridges in no time. He is incapable of validating anyone else but himself.

impeachment or 25th Amendment removal, yes. But saying "any means necessary" is just begging for a visit from the Secret Service.
