    Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is calling for President Trump to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment after Trump said he would be less likely to pressure Denmark to give up Greenland had he won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.

    “Invoke the 25th Amendment,” Markey, who is facing a Democratic primary challenger this year, posted on social media, alongside an image of a New York Times report that said Trump tied his renewed interest in Greenland to not winning the Nobel Prize in a text message to Norwegian leader Jonas Gahr Støre.

    According to the Times, Støre received a text message from Trump on Sunday in which the president suggested that failing to receive the Nobel Peace Prize has made him more willing to take a tougher approach toward U.S. interests, including Greenland, which remains a territory of Denmark.

    “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars Plus, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Trump wrote.

    The Norwegian Nobel Committee is a private organization and not part of the Norwegian government, although its members are appointed by Norway’s parliament.

    Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., asserted Monday in a post on X that President Donald Trump is “mentally ill” and should be “immediately” removed from office via the 25th Amendment.

    “The president of the United States is extremely mentally ill and it’s putting all of our lives at risk. The 25th Amendment exists for a reason — we need to invoke it immediately,” she declared in the post.

    A familiar Democratic playbook

    Markey’s call is the latest example of Democrats escalating rhetoric about removing Trump from office—often after political disagreements or controversial headlines, rather than any clear constitutional crisis.

    Since Trump returned to office, several prominent Democrats and progressive allies have floated impeachment-related ideas, renewed investigations, and other efforts aimed at sidelining the president. While the circumstances and legal arguments have varied, the broader theme has remained consistent: using procedural threats and public pressure campaigns to weaken a president they were unable to defeat politically.

    Those efforts have ranged from calls for impeachment hearings to demands for special investigations and public claims that Trump is unfit to serve—despite the fact that voters returned him to the White House and gave him a governing mandate.

    Since 2017, Texas Congressman Al Green (D) has attempted impeachment articles five times, often without the backing of House Democratic leadership. His previous filings — including charges such as “bigotry” and “bringing disrepute to the presidency” — were consistently tabled with bipartisan support, underscoring how little traction his efforts gained even before Trump’s two formal impeachments in 2019 and 2021. (RELATED: Democrat Lawmaker To File Impeachment Articles Against Trump)

    However, even some Republicans have indicated they may soon support impeachment articles against Trump. (RELATED: Republican Issues Impeachment Warning Over Trump’s Greenland Proposal)

    Last week, Republican Congressman Don Bacon signaled he would move to impeach President Donald Trump if he follows through on his threat to invade Greenland and take it by force.

    In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, Bacon (R-NE) said he personally would “lean toward” voting to impeach the president if he were to follow through on threats to take over Greenland.

    “I’ll be candid with you. There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon told the paper. “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency.”

    What the 25th Amendment actually requires

    Despite Markey’s social media push, his demand to remove Trump from office is unlikely to gain traction.

    Invoking the 25th Amendment would require Vice President Vance and a majority of Trump’s Cabinet to formally declare to Congress that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.

    That declaration would immediately transfer presidential authority to the vice president.

    The amendment then requires Congress to ratify any decision to keep the president out of power within 21 days of receiving the notification.

    Two-thirds of both the House and the Senate would need to affirm the decision. Otherwise, Trump would regain full presidential authority.

    Mexican President Pushes Back On Trump’s Latest Cartel Proposal

    Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, says she had “a very good conversation” with President Donald Trump on Monday — a call that focused heavily on cartel violence, cross-border drug trafficking, and the Trump administration’s push for tougher action against transnational criminal groups

    The call lasted about 15 minutes and came after Sheinbaum said she requested direct dialogue with the Trump administration, following a week of escalating rhetoric from Trump about the cartels and Mexico’s security crisis.

    A familiar dispute: U.S. military action vs. Mexican sovereignty

    Trump has repeatedly suggested the United States could use the U.S. military to strike cartel networks inside Mexico — an idea that resonates with many Republican voters who view the cartels as a direct national-security threat tied to fentanyl deaths, human trafficking, and illegal immigration.

    Sheinbaum, however, again rejected the idea of U.S. intervention, signaling that her government wants continued security cooperation, but on Mexico’s terms.

    Trump “still insisted that if we ask for it, they could help” with military forces, Sheinbaum said, adding that she rejected the offer again:

    “We told him, so far it’s going very well, it’s not necessary, and furthermore there is Mexico’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and he understood.”

    For Republican-leaning audiences, the tension here is straightforward: Mexico wants U.S. support — but not U.S. control, even as American communities continue facing the fallout of cartel-driven fentanyl trafficking.

    Trump presses the issue: “The cartels are running Mexico”

    Trump’s posture has been consistent: treat cartels like the enemy force they are.

    In a Fox News interview aired last week, he said:

    “We’ve knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water and we are going to start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico. It’s very sad to watch.”

    That message plays to a key Republican argument: the U.S. cannot allow criminal organizations to operate with near-military power just across the border, especially when those groups fuel drug deaths and destabilize communities on both sides.

    Venezuela raid adds new weight to Trump’s threats

    The conversation also came in the wake of a dramatic U.S. operation in Venezuela — the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — which Sheinbaum said Trump raised directly.

    “He (Trump) asked me my opinion about what they had done in Venezuela and I told him very clearly that our constitution is very clear, that we do not agree with interventions and that was it,” Sheinbaum said.

    Sheinbaum’s comments reflect a longstanding Mexican government position against foreign military interventions, but the timing matters: the Venezuela operation has made leaders across the region take Trump’s warnings more seriously — including when he talks about Mexico, Cuba, and even Greenland. AP News+1

    Rubio demands “tangible results” from Mexico

    The Trump administration’s pressure campaign hasn’t been limited to the president.

    Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente spoke Sunday with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who called for “tangible results” and more cooperation to dismantle cartel power, according to the U.S. State Department.

    That demand reflects what many Republican voters have argued for years: Mexico must do more than make promises — it must deliver measurable enforcement.

    Sheinbaum claims progress — and wants credit

    Sheinbaum said Mexico shared results with the U.S. side, including:

    • a significant drop in homicides
    • falling U.S. fentanyl seizures
    • lower fentanyl overdose deaths in the U.S.

    Even so, U.S. officials and border-state Republicans have frequently questioned whether Mexico’s progress is durable and nationwide, or simply temporary or concentrated in certain regions while cartels continue adapting.

    Why intervention is still unlikely — for now

    Experts say U.S. intervention in Mexico remains unlikely because Mexico is currently doing much of what Washington has requested and remains one of America’s most important economic partners. But they also expect Trump to keep using hardline rhetoric to maintain pressure.

    Cuba left out — but still a point of friction

    Sheinbaum said the two leaders did not discuss Cuba, even though Trump has recently threatened action related to the island. Mexico remains an important ally of Cuba, including through oil shipments, which have become even more significant now that the Trump administration has moved to stop Venezuelan oil from reaching Cuba.

    Trump Suggests Deporting Ilhan Omar ‘Back To Somalia’

    U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Cori Bush speak at the Mississippi River in Minneapolis asking for President Biden to stop Line 3 pipeline construction.

    President Donald Trump escalated his criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a late-night Truth Social post Sunday, tying her to allegations of widespread fraud in Minnesota and accusing her of knowing details about the case.

    Trump’s comments came as part of a broader Sunday night posting spree that also revisited his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland and raised concerns about a proposed New York Stock Exchange-style initiative reportedly being discussed for Dallas.

    But Trump’s sharpest remarks were aimed at Omar and Minnesota’s ongoing fraud investigation, which Republicans and administration officials have repeatedly cited as an example of major waste and abuse—particularly involving pandemic-era programs.

    In his post, Trump wrote:

    There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!

    The post followed Trump’s earlier claims Sunday that Omar and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) were using ICE operations and immigration enforcement disputes to shift public attention away from the fraud investigation.

    Republicans Point to Long-Running Minnesota Fraud Cases

    The Minnesota fraud controversy is not new, but it has continued to draw national attention—especially as Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials argue that weak oversight and progressive political leadership have allowed major fraud schemes to flourish.

    Much of the recent focus has centered on a long-running Justice Department investigation involving alleged fraud tied to Minnesota-based programs. Minnesota’s Somali community has also been drawn into the spotlight in recent online coverage, including viral claims about alleged daycare-related fraud spread by YouTuber Nick Shirley.

    While critics argue the community has been unfairly targeted, conservatives say the issue is not ethnicity or immigration status—but the scale of fraud and whether political leaders turned a blind eye.

    Feeding Our Future Case Still Looms Over the State

    The most widely known Minnesota fraud case remains the Feeding Our Future scandal. In 2022, under the Biden administration, federal prosecutors indicted dozens of suspects in connection with the Feeding Our Future case, an alleged $250 million scheme involving pandemic-era food aid funds.

    The case has been frequently cited by Republicans as evidence that emergency spending programs during COVID were riddled with vulnerabilities and were too easily exploited.

    Omar Background and Trump Feud Remain Flashpoints

    Omar, who arrived in the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia at the age of 12 and became a citizen in 2000, was elected to Congress in 2018 and has consistently been a target of Trump’s attacks, which she has dismissed as racist and politically motivated.

    Trump and Omar have traded public attacks for years, with Omar frequently criticizing Trump-era immigration enforcement, foreign policy, and what she describes as nationalist rhetoric. Trump, in turn, has repeatedly singled her out as a symbol of what he and many conservatives view as an increasingly radical Democratic Party.

    The renewed attention comes as Trump and Republicans continue to highlight fraud and immigration enforcement as major election-year issues

    Trump To Pardon Former Puerto Rican Governor

    Just in…

    President Trump will pardon former Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced (R), a White House official confirmed to The Hill on Friday. 

    Garced, who was governor of the U.S. territory from 2019 to 2021, was arrested in 2022 for allegedly bribing people to finance her 2020 campaign. 

    In August, Garced pled guilty to accepting a campaign finance violation from a Venezuelan banker in 2020. 

    Garced endorsed Trump’s 2020 reelection bid. One of her co-defendants attorneys, Christopher Kise, was apart of Trump’s legal team during the 2022 federal investigation into his handling of classified documents for a short period.

    Most notably, Kise led Trump’s defense in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

    The White House official noted to The Hill that the investigation into Garced began 10 days after she backed Trump in 2020. The official also pointed out that Vasquez argues there was no bribery because the discussions in question were with a potential donor on police, and not taking action for a material gain.

    Iranian Cleric Threatens Trump, Calls To Execute Protesters

    Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, a hard-line Iranian cleric close to the regime, on Friday openly called for the execution of protesters in Tehran as the Islamic Republic intensifies its crackdown on demonstrations spreading through the capital.

    “Armed hypocrites should be put to death!” Khatami declared in a sermon broadcast on Iranian state radio, according to The Associated Press.

    Khatami’s remarks underscore what many conservatives have long argued: Iran’s leadership is not a conventional government but a revolutionary theocracy that rules through intimidation, mass arrests, and violence—especially when faced with internal dissent.

    Regime turns its fury toward Trump and Israel

    Khatami also aimed his threats at President Donald Trump, who has warned the Iranian regime that executions of demonstrators would cross a red line that could trigger a U.S. military response.

    Khatami described the demonstrators as “butlers” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “Trump’s soldiers,” accusing both men of “disintegrating the country.”

    “They should wait for hard revenge from the system,” Khatami said of Netanyahu and Trump, per the AP. “Americans and Zionists should not expect peace.”

    For Republican-leaning Americans who view Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, Khatami’s comments serve as another reminder that Tehran’s ruling clerics continue to treat the United States—and Trump in particular—as an enemy to be threatened, not a partner for diplomacy.

    Iranian state TV escalates rhetoric against Trump

    The comments come amid renewed concerns over inflammatory messaging carried by Iranian state media. Iran’s government-controlled television networks—which operate as propaganda arms of the regime—have repeatedly aired hostile messaging targeting the United States and Israel, including threatening rhetoric directed at President Trump.

    Iran’s state broadcasters have often been used to amplify the regime’s “Death to America” ideology, glorify attacks against U.S. interests, and signal the leadership’s intent to retaliate against Western pressure. That same infrastructure is now being used to justify domestic repression, painting protesters as foreign agents rather than Iranian citizens demanding freedom.

    Judiciary chief pushes for “fast” punishment

    Khatami’s call for executions followed remarks earlier this week from Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, who urged rapid action against protesters.

    “If we want to do a job, we should do it now. If we want to do something, we have to do it quickly,” Mohseni-Ejei said, according to The Associated Press, citing a video from Iranian state television.

    “If it becomes late, two months, three months later, it doesn’t have the same effect. If we want to do something, we have to do that fast,” he added.

    His statement reflects a familiar authoritarian playbook: move quickly and harshly to crush resistance before it spreads—through intimidation, public punishment, and fear.

    Trump says executions halted after U.S. warning

    Iranian shopkeeper Erfan Soltani was expected to be among the first to face the death penalty, but the Trump administration said hundreds of executions were halted following the president’s intervention. Trump on Wednesday said he’d been told by good sources that Iran would not proceed with executions.

    On Tuesday, Trump canceled talks with Iranian leaders and issued a blunt message of support to demonstrators.

    “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

    The president has said any acts of violence against protesters would draw a “strong” response from the U.S., while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters “all options remain on the table.”

    To Republicans who supported Trump’s maximum-pressure strategy, the moment is being viewed as a test of whether deterrence still works: the U.S. draws a clear line, and hostile regimes back down when they believe America is serious.

    Death toll rises as Iran tightens grip

    The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported 2,797 deaths in Iran amid the government crackdown as of Friday afternoon.

    Nobel Peace Prize Medallion Presented To Trump By Venezuelan Opposition Leader

    Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said President Donald Trump “deserved” the Nobel Peace Prize after she presented him with her Nobel medal during a White House visit on Thursday, calling the moment “emotional.”

    Machado made the comments in a teased interview with Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy, where she described personally handing the medal to Trump in a gilded frame.

    “Why did you do that?” the host asked.

    Machado replied: “Because he deserved it. It was a very emotional moment. I decided to present the Nobel Peace Prize medal on behalf of the people of Venezuela.”

    Fox News also reported that Machado praised Trump for helping deliver freedom “not only [for] the Venezuelan people, but I would say the whole hemisphere,” pointing to what she described as Trump’s role in confronting the Maduro regime.

    Watch:

    Nobel officials say the award can’t be “transferred”

    The symbolic handoff came just a day after the Norwegian Nobel Institute publicly warned that the Nobel Peace Prize “cannot be revoked, shared or transferred to others.”

    That statement followed Machado’s recent suggestion that she wanted to “share” recognition with Trump—an idea Nobel officials made clear is not possible under Nobel rules, even if the physical medal changes hands.

    CBS News, citing White House officials, reported the medal Machado gave Trump was her real Nobel Peace Prize medallion, not a replica.

    Trump celebrates the gift on Truth Social

    Trump reacted enthusiastically online late Thursday, calling the medal “for the work I have done” and describing it as “a wonderful gesture of mutual respect,” according to multiple reports.

    The White House also posted a photo of Trump and Machado posing with the Nobel medal, highlighting the meeting and the Venezuelan opposition leader’s show of support.

    Machado: “It went very well”

    Machado said the meeting itself was productive, framing it as a long-awaited opportunity to speak directly with the president.

    Speaking more generally about the visit, she told Fox News: “It went very well. I’m very grateful for the opportunity I had to speak with President Trump. Something I’ve been looking forward to for a very long time.”

    Trump’s long-running Nobel argument

    Machado’s decision to honor Trump also plays into a familiar theme for the president: for years, Trump has argued that he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for his diplomatic efforts, particularly the Abraham Accords and other Middle East initiatives that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.

    Trump has repeatedly suggested that his accomplishments were ignored by what he and his allies describe as an international political establishment that often gives more credit to globalist leaders than to outsiders pushing major change.

    Cruz Rages At Reports Iran Is ‘Explicitly Threatening To Murder Trump’

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other close allies of President Donald Trump were left fuming after reporters leaked that Iranian state TV broadcast an image threatening to assassinate the president.

    Iran issued the sickening threat against President Trump on Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander in chief during the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt — with the words “This time it will not miss the target.” The ominous warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported.

    This marks Tehran’s most direct threat yet against Trump, following repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters.

    On Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged the people of Iran to “take over” the country’s institutions on saying he has canceled all planned meetings with the Iranian regime until its crackdown on unrest ends.

    “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

    “I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!” he continued, referencing “Make Iran Great Again.”

    The death toll from nationwide protests grew to 2,000, The Associated Press reported, citing activists.

    Trump’s message to Iranians has become increasingly intense in recent days. In addition to encouraging anti-government protests, Trump threatened earlier this week to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country conducting business with Iran if they also do business with the U.S.

    Cruz shared the image and wrote on X, “Iran explicitly threatening to murder Trump. Tucker—whose podcast the Ayatollah is currently playing in Persian all across Iran—insists that Iran has never done this.”

    Mediaite reported that Cruz referenced Tucker Carlson in his post as the two have long feuded over Trump’s previous strikes against Iran, which Carlson vehemently opposed and warned would lead to World War III.

    Fox host Mark Levin also shared the image and wrote, “Iranian regime threatening to assassinate our President and making clear they’ve tried before! It’s time to deal with this. I’m sure we will.”

    Trump Reveals First Lady ‘Hates When I Do This’ In Public

      President Donald Trump on Tuesday shared a lighthearted moment with Republican lawmakers, revealing that first lady Melania Trump is not a fan of his now-famous campaign rally dance moves—though he made clear that voters seem to feel otherwise.

      Speaking at the House GOP Member Retreat at the Kennedy Center, Trump recounted conversations with the first lady about his tendency to dance onstage at political events, a routine that has become a signature feature of his public appearances.

      “My wife hates when I do this,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the audience.

      “She’s a very classy person, right? She said, ‘It’s so unpresidential.’ I said, ‘but I did become president.’ … She hates when I dance. I said, ‘Everybody wants me to dance.’”

      Trump continued, quoting Melania Trump’s concerns about tradition and decorum.

      “‘Darling, it’s not presidential,’” he said, recounting her words.

      The president’s dancing—often set to the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” or Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.”—became a hallmark of his 2024 campaign rallies. Trump routinely opened or closed events by dancing on stage, usually making a fist, shimming his arms, and pointing toward supporters in the crowd. The moments frequently went viral online and were embraced by supporters as a symbol of Trump’s unfiltered personality and connection with everyday Americans.

      Trump has previously spoken publicly about Melania Trump’s disapproval of the routine. At a 2023 rally in Iowa, he told supporters she had warned him against dancing offstage.

      “She said, ‘Darling, I love you, I love you, but this is not presidential. You don’t dance off the stage. This is not presidential,’” Trump recalled at the time.

      On Tuesday, Trump said the first lady had even invoked historical precedent, arguing that past presidents maintained a more reserved public image.

      “She actually said, ‘Could you imagine FDR dancing,’” Trump told lawmakers.

      Trump responded by acknowledging the contrast between eras, while still defending his approach.

      “There’s a long history that perhaps she doesn’t know because he was an elegant fellow, even as a Democrat,” Trump said of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. “He was quite elegant, but he wouldn’t be doing this. But nor would too many others.”

      Still, Trump emphasized that times—and politics—have changed, and that modern voters respond to authenticity more than formality.

      “But she said, ‘Darling, please, the weightlifting is terrible,’” Trump added, referring to another form of physical impersonation he sometimes uses onstage. “And I have to say this, the dancing, they really like.”

      According to Trump, Melania Trump remains unconvinced that audiences genuinely enjoy the performances.

      “She said, ‘They don’t like it. They’re just being nice to you,’” he recalled.

      “I said, ‘That’s not right,’” Trump added.

      The comments came as Trump was discussing broader cultural and political issues, including his criticism of biological males competing in women’s sports—remarks that continue to resonate strongly with his conservative base. Trump has previously noted that the first lady also disapproves of his onstage imitations of weightlifters, which he has used to make points about strength, fairness, and gender differences.

      While Melania Trump may prefer a more traditional presidential image, Trump made clear that he believes his unorthodox approach is part of why millions of Americans continue to support him.

      As he put it plainly: the voters like it—and he’s not stopping anytime soon.

      Steve Bannon Reportedly ‘Laying The Groundwork’ For Presidential Run In 2028

      According to Axios, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is “laying the groundwork” for a possible campaign by discussing staffing with allies and setting up a political action committee.

      Bannon has also been making appearances at GOP events in key early-primary organizing circles. Axios pointed to his attendance at Colorado and Georgia Republican Party events as a sign he may be building relationships with local activists who play a major role in primary politics.

      Still, Axios framed the effort as something bigger than one candidate’s ambitions.

      “The MAGA godfather isn’t serious about becoming president — that’s not the point,”
      Axios reported.

      Instead, the outlet said Bannon has told allies he wants to pressure Republicans to embrace a clearer “America First” vision — including non-interventionist foreign policy, economic populism, and opposition to Big Tech.

      Matt Gaetz weighs in

      Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) described Bannon’s political brand in blunt terms, telling Axios:

      “The Bannon campaign will merge the foreign policy of Rand Paul with the tax policy of Elizabeth Warren.”

      A “nontraditional” campaign model

      Axios also reported that Bannon’s associates “envision a nontraditional campaign” that could be run largely from his Capitol Hill podcast studio, avoiding the typical early-state grind of rallies in Iowa and New Hampshire.

      Bannon denies it — and says his focus is Trump

      Bannon isn’t publicly embracing the idea. He reportedly told Axios the entire notion was:

      “bullsh*t,”

      and said he’s focused on supporting a third term for Trump — “despite the Constitution’s two-term limit on presidents.”

      Meanwhile, Trump is already signaling 2028 succession plans

      While Bannon talks about “America First” leverage in 2028, President Donald Trump has also been dropping hints about what he wants the post-Trump Republican bench to look like.

      In recent comments reported by multiple outlets, Trump has pointed to Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the next generation of Republican leadership — and suggested they could be a dominant force heading into 2028.

      Republican Issues Impeachment Warning Over Trump’s Greenland Proposal

      A Republican Congressman signaled he would move to impeach President Donald Trump if he follows through on his threat to invade Greenland and take it by force.

      In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said he personally would “lean toward” voting to impeach the president if he were to follow through on threats to take over Greenland.

      “I’ll be candid with you. There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon told the paper. “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency.”

      Bacon, a swing state Congressman who is known to split from his Republican colleagues, has become even more outspoken against Trump since announcing he is leaving Congress at the end of the current term.

      “It’s about whether the United States intends to face a constellation of strategic adversaries with capable friends — or commit an unprecedented act of strategic self-harm and go it alone,” McConnell said. He added that, “following through on this provocation would be more disastrous for the President’s legacy than withdrawing from Afghanistan was for his predecessor.”

      On Wednesday in the Oval Office, Trump snapped at a reporter who confronted him about a potential invasion.

      “It sounds like you would potentially acquire Greenland by force,” the reporter said.

      “No, you’re saying that. I didn’t say it,” Trump said. “You’re telling me that that’s what I’m going to do — you don’t know what I’m going to do.”

      Watch:

      In a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned that President Trump’s talk of seizing Greenland by force threatens to “incinerate” the nation’s long-standing ties with NATO allies.

      McConnell declared that burning the treaty organization that formed after World War II to contain Soviet aggression would be an “unprecedented act of strategic self-harm.”

      “Unless and until the president can demonstrate otherwise, then the proposition at hand today is very straightforward: incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies in exchange for no meaningful change in U.S. access to the Arctic,” McConnell said on the Senate floor, delivering one of the strongest statements criticizing the Trump administration’s talk about potentially seizing Greenland by force.

      He warned that following through on the “ill-advised threats” from the administration would “shatter the trust of allies.”

      “Following through on this provocation would be more disastrous for the President’s legacy than withdrawing from Afghanistan was for his predecessor,” he said.

      Watch:

      He pointed to polling showing that just 17 percent of Americans think trying to take control of Greenland is a good idea and that 68 percent of Americans view the NATO alliance favorably.
