"President Donald Trump's time in politics has been marked by instance after instance of the pundit class writing his political obituary, from the Access Hollywood tape to two impeachments to the January 6th attack on the Capitol. Each time, however, Trump has managed to hold onto his base and defy the predictions of his demise. But with all that being said, Trump's current Greenland folly may finally be the move that effectively makes him a lame duck if Republicans in Congress can find even the smallest backbone."
"Trump's flip-flop on intervening in Iran to aid protesters and farcical acceptance of the Ayatollah's word that his regime had stopped murdering them as well as his recent invitation to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to join his Gaza Board of Peace have also divided the GOP in recent days. But so far, nothing seems to be peeling off support quite like Trump threatening military action against Greenland, which a recent Reuters poll found only 4% of Americans support."
President Donald Trump has repeatedly defied expectations of political demise by retaining his base through scandals and crises. His recent proposal to seize Greenland has generated rare Republican anger, uniting non-interventionist MAGA supporters and hawkish establishment figures in opposition. Congressional willingness to cede legislative priorities and oversight to the White House has been notable during his term. The Greenland threat’s unpopularity, reflected in a Reuters poll showing only 4% support, may motivate congressional Republicans to reassert oversight and check presidential actions. Additional controversies, including inconsistent Iran policy and outreach to Vladimir Putin, have deepened GOP divisions.
