I suppose President Mump, could con Congress into declaring war on Canada, Greenland, and Panama. After all dublya accomplished an illegal war against Iraq. BUT there are some major obstacles.
One: Canada is a member of the British Commonwealth, which would bring Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and a whole bunch of smaller countries to Canada's defense.
Two: Canada is an independent member of NATO which would bring all of NATO to Canada's and Greenland's defense for the same reasons.
Three: The Mumper's only won by less than one-third of the registered voters, meaning more than 2/3 did NOT vote for Mump.
Tom, has already explained why Mump can't easily declare war on Panama, but I'll add another fact, four: there are two major canals on planet Earth through which I'd guess close to 90% of the world's markets pass, the Panama and the Suez. Do you think for one minute that all the other 194 Countries would allow the co-presidency of Musk and Trump to shut down one of the canals by declaring war on Panama.
Five: Finally, going back to the election. Of the 20 pl;us or minus States that remained Democratic we include 3 major industrial States, California, New York, and Illinois. with both California and New York being ranked very high in WORLD economy. That, plus Michigan and Wisconsin both voted for Mump, each of those States remain in the hands of Democratic executives and Michigan is also one of the top industrial States.
Furthermore, the ONLY State of economic consequence that remain mostly with the mumpers is Texas and that is mostly because of the way it is divided into 254 Counties All the population centers (Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso) are Democratic. If push came to shove I'm not so sure Abbot could hold Texas in support of the mumpers.
