Trump warned 'everything has changed' as he suddenly faces active resistance

A longtime Republican Party strategist is cautioning Donald Trump that his days of bulldozing opponents and receiving little to no opposition are drawing to a close, which is a harbinger of worse things to come if he loses control of Congress.

As Naftali Bendavid of the Washington Post wrote on Saturday, the president is getting it from all sides as world leaders in Davos not only ignored his demands to be handed Greenland, but also pushed back, while at the same time at home, his immigration policies have given rise to massive demonstrations, including a strike that shut down the city of Minneapolis on Friday.

Adding to that, the targets of his retaliation campaign are not rolling over and are instead fighting –– and suing –– back instead of being cowed.

Bendavid is reporting, “Foreign leaders, meanwhile, appeared to conclude they had little to lose from openly accusing Trump of thuggery, something they had been reluctant to do before,” while adding that lawmakers like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Sen Mark Kelly (AZ-D) have openly challenged Trump's authority believing he will back down.

According to GOP adviser Mike Madrid, one year into his second term, the president is finding he is facing a radically changing political landscape as the polls show voters are turning against him in a stunning reversal.

“I don’t think there is any question. It’s the prime minister of Canada. It’s the pope,” he told the Post. “There is this new energy when our allies are rattling the saber back, and that is in turn emboldening folks at home.”

The Post reports notes that the pushback to Trump is undeniably being effective as his threats to invade Greenland if he didn't get his way quickly dissipated, and the plans to invoke the Insurrection Act at home withered quickly away in the face of resistance.

That led Madrid to warn Trump, ““In the past six months, everything has changed. The fever swamp is still full force, but there is no question there are breaks. The question is, can [Trump] hold it together? And if this is happening before the midterms, imagine what happens if the Democrats take one or both houses.”
