BREAKING: Republicans are threatening Trump with the end of his presidency if he touches Greenland. But what Trump said next has Americans convinced he’s terrified of impeachment.
In a rare display of internal Republican dissent, several prominent GOP lawmakers have issued stark warnings to President Donald Trump over his escalating push to acquire Greenland, the autonomous Danish territory.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a retiring congressman known for occasional breaks with the party line, told the Omaha World-Herald that any attempt to invade or forcibly seize Greenland would be “utter buffoonery” and could mark “the end of his presidency.”
Bacon, who said he would “lean toward” supporting impeachment in such a scenario, noted that “there’s so many Republicans mad about this,” highlighting growing frustration within the party over threats against a NATO ally.
Senate Republicans have echoed similar concerns. Former Senate leader Mitch McConnell compared a potential takeover to the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal under President Biden, calling it potentially “disastrous” for Trump’s legacy.
Other voices, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), have described the rhetoric as “very unsettling,” while lawmakers like Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) suggested bipartisan efforts could block military action through war powers resolutions.
The warnings come amid Trump’s intensified campaign for U.S. control of Greenland, which he has justified as a national security necessity to counter Russia and China in the Arctic.
Recent actions include threats of escalating tariffs on Denmark and several European NATO allies unless a purchase deal is reached.
Polls show overwhelming opposition: only about 4% of Americans support a military takeover, while 85% of Greenlanders reject joining the United States.
In response to questions about the possibility of force, Trump has deflected, insisting Greenland is vital and suggesting the U.S. will act “whether they like it or not.” The White House has maintained that the territory is critical for defense interests.
The bipartisan pushback underscores a potential red line for Republicans, who fear damaging NATO alliances and inviting global backlash.
As diplomatic tensions rise—with protests in Greenland and Denmark, and European leaders condemning the threats—the situation continues to test party unity in Trump’s second term.
