GOP congressman predicts what could 'end' Trump's presidency [View all]

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) is taking searing aim at President Donald Trump’s fixation on acquiring Greenland.

In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald on Wednesday, Bacon described talk of taking over the autonomous territory as “utter buffoonery.” He also warned the president of bipartisan impeachment efforts if he decides to invade.

“If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency,” Bacon said. “And he needs to know: The off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren’t going to tolerate this and he’s going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm.”

Bacon — who has expressed criticism of the president on a handful of issues, most recently including a criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell — voted against all of the articles of impeachment against Trump during his first term. He told the Omaha World-Herald, however, that he would lean in favor of doing so if Trump’s idea came to fruition.
