JUST IN: Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) confirmed to multiple news outlets that Republicans have finally drawn a line in the sand. If Trump invades Greenland, there are enough Republicans willing to impeach him. But what he said about killing U.S. citizens in the streets is what has stunned everyone.
In a striking display of intra-party tension, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has confirmed to multiple outlets that a significant number of House Republicans would support impeaching President Donald Trump if he pursues military action to seize Greenland, an autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.
In interviews with the Omaha World-Herald and other media, Bacon described Trump’s escalating rhetoric about acquiring Greenland — including threats of force if purchase talks fail — as “utter buffoonery” and “the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
He emphasized that such a move would damage U.S. alliances and could mark “the end of his presidency.”
“There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon stated. “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency.”
When pressed on impeachment, the retiring congressman said he would “lean that way” and implied sufficient GOP votes exist in the House to advance articles of impeachment, potentially with bipartisan support.
Bacon, a former Air Force brigadier general and vocal critic of certain Trump foreign policy moves, has co-sponsored the **No Funds for NATO Invasion Act** alongside Democrats to block federal funding for any military action against NATO members or protected territories like Greenland.
He argued that threatening an ally makes the U.S. appear more like adversaries such as Russia or China.
The comments come amid heightened controversy surrounding Trump’s Greenland ambitions, which he has framed as essential for national security against Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic.
Polls show overwhelming public opposition to using force, with only a small fraction of Americans supporting a military takeover.
Meanwhile, Bacon’s remarks have drawn attention to a separate flashpoint: recent high-profile incidents involving ICE agents during intensified immigration enforcement, including the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Critics have highlighted these events as evidence of overreach, with some questioning why they have not prompted similar Republican red lines.
As Trump doubles down on his position, Bacon’s warning underscores growing fractures within the GOP over foreign policy and executive power, especially as the president approaches key decisions on alliances and international relations.
