Republicans Warn Trump: Invade Greenland and You'll Be Impeached - Decoding The Rhetoric



A Republican congressman just crossed a line that Trump has never faced before.

Rep. Don Bacon — a five-term Republican who voted against both Trump impeachments — publicly warned that if Trump follows through on his threat to militarily seize Greenland, it would likely end his presidency.

This is not coming from Democrats. This is coming from Trump’s own party.

Multiple senior Republicans are now openly opposing Trump’s Greenland threats, co-sponsoring legislation to block funding for any invasion of a NATO ally, and warning that impeachment would be unavoidable if Trump escalates further.

At the same time, a bipartisan congressional delegation is in Copenhagen reassuring Denmark that Congress does not support Trump’s actions — while Trump retaliates by announcing new tariffs against European allies.

This is no longer speculation. This is a constitutional collision between Trump, Congress, NATO, and the rule of law — and Republicans are now saying it out loud. - 01/17/2026.

How many times have we seen this crap in the past 45 years to date?!? This is the same BS only amped up.

My dad was correct when I asked him what the GOP agenda was. He was simple and direct in his reply, "They are greedy hypocrites".

Americans are dumber than dirt and they have the memory of a gnat. Older but NOT wiser!

From what I’ve seen he’s said nothing about impeachment yet
