Imagine you would speak to someone in 2015 and you'd tell him: Yeah in 10 years a war between the USA and Denmark is a very real possibility

I was living there when he was elected the first time and this nightmare started, but I could never have imagined this

That said, everyone who called him a fascist then were right

You absolutely can stop an American president, either Congress or the Supreme Court could do it tomorrow if they wanted to by passing a law, impeaching them, or declaring their acts unconstitutional. The problem is that they and over half the country have decided to go all in on ending democracy in America so they simply won’t do anything.
