A House Republican is warning that if President Donald Trump were to order a military invasion of Greenland, it “would be the end of his presidency.”
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 — who often breaks from MAGA as a representative from a swing district — has become even more outspoken against Trump since announcing he is leaving Congress at the end of the current term. Another prominent Republican who falls in that category — Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to express his anger about a potential Greenland takeover.
“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.”
And the American public is just about united against a Greenland incursion as well. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll out Wednesday showed just 4 percent of Americans back a military takeover of Greenland.
On Wednesday in the Oval Office, Trump scolded 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.”

Kentucky, do something about your village idiots.
The headline says it is a Republican. But it is Don Bacon, instead.
Is DJT using Greenland to flush out the moles???
He won’t be bringing home the Bacon much longer if he votes to impeach Trump, for ANY reason.
Trump isn’t going to invade Greenland.
Stop being stupid, Bacon.
Bacon is a PoS NeverTrumper from blue Omaha

Try it some day!
He’s not going to invade Greenland.
He’s Nebraska’s village idiot.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
A big exaggeration; but Trump still should not invade. He needs to be focusing on domestic issues, not trying to explain to voters why he is uniting the whole world against us over a big iceburg.
Thanks. I did read it, honest. 😀 Well, maybe I skimmed it.

I swear retired military usually suck at being politicians .
Don “Pork Barrel” Bacon.
One of the worst RINO’s in Congress.
Yes. I am getting nervous about Minnesota and don’t give a rip about Greenland. Unless President Trump knows something we don’t.
Al Capone said “You can accomplish more with a gun and a smile than you can with just a smile.”
There’s 70+ years of Atlanticist, globalist, Davos, deep-state influence, agents and lackeys built up in Washington DC, intel, the media, finance, etc...
They are spread throughout our government.
Trump’s moves with tariffs, finance, Venezuela, Ukraine, Greenland all have multiple purposes, but targeting this network is always part of his plans.
The battle will continue long after Trump is gone.
Trump know a lot that we don’t.
As usual, most don't see President Trump has highlighted the lack of world's
attention on Greenland's vulnerability.
He has accomplished his goal, nato members are now paying slightly more
attention.
