Republican infighting, five lawmakers defect, Trump is restricted, his face turned green with rage!
On January 9, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "The U.S. Senate held a procedural vote on a resolution to restrict Trump's military action against Venezuela on Thursday, passing the draft with 52 votes in favor and 47 against, with five Republican lawmakers defecting to support it. Previously, Trump launched a military operation against Venezuela without congressional authorization and detained the Maduro couple. The sponsor of the resolution, Republican Congressman Paul, pointed out that this act was a war, while Democratic Congressman Kane called the vote a major victory, stating that it was against the president's unilateral decision to send people to the battlefield. Trump angrily criticized the Republicans who voted in favor as extremely foolish, threatening them never to be elected again, and claimed the draft was unconstitutional. The draft will undergo a formal vote next week, and the House of Representatives also plans subsequent voting."
[Cunning] A comedy at the White House, Trump's addiction to military action backfires, the internal strife within the Republican Party makes the Democrats ecstatic! The Senate's 52:47 vote on January 8 has doused the water on Trump's authoritarian script — even five Republican lawmakers defected to limit his freedom to take military action against Venezuela. This scene is reminiscent of the Nixon Watergate scandal's internal betrayal, but this time it's more absurd. On January 3, without congressional authorization, he suddenly attacked Caracas and captured Maduro. Trump seems to have forgotten the basic constraints of the U.S. Constitution and the nationwide protests caused by presidential overreach during the Vietnam War. With a 39% approval rating, the lowest in 80 years for this period, he dares to enter the war zone, no wonder Republicans are afraid of being dragged down with him!
While denouncing colleagues as extremely foolish, he threatens to never allow them to run for office again. Trump's roar sounds more like a cornered beast fighting desperately. The so-called power of the supreme commander is merely a mask of hegemony in the framework of the rule of law. This internal squabble exposes the hypocrisy of American democracy — outwardly recklessly attacking sovereignty, inwardly tearing off faces for power struggles, which is nothing more than a vivid joke in the global political arena!
