So, if the Orange Mango declares war with anyone, who or how can that be stopped.

or do people wring their hands, on repeat, and let the flat track bully, kill innocent people?

The spineless jellyfish in the GOP are doing the bolded - say 'oh no we have concerns' but do absolutely nothing when it comes to actually forcing Trump to go via Congress (as Presidents are supposed to do).

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/politics/trump-venezuela-house-vote.html

The House on Wednesday rejected a pair of resolutions that would have forced President Trump to go to Congress for approval before attacking Venezuela and to continue his campaign of striking vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

The mostly party-line votes came as lawmakers in both parties have expressed grave concern about the nature and legality of the boat strikes, as well as the administration’s lack of consultation with Congress about the offensive, and worries that Mr. Trump’s moves in the region could lead to a wider conflict.

It looks like there might be a way to stop him.



ETA: or perhaps this was sent before the resolutions were passed.

The US President does not have the authority to 'declare war', the US Constitution grants that power to Congress alone

Unless the GOP controlled congress abdicates any level of responsibility to check the power of POTUS (which is pretty much their whole point for existence).

but, what if he does?

As commander in chief of the armed forces he simply orders a war to be fought. Congress can cut funding, but can you see Congress cutting funding to US troops who are fighting? Congress has not declared war since WW2.

Will anyone bother to ask him to explain how it's the US' oil?

 

[Cyber_punk]

If he does indeed declare war on them, yes his approval will tank further. But as insecure as he has been, I don't think he cares at this point what Americans or his own base thinks. He doesn't need to win another election, and he probably knows the mid terms pretty much always go the other way anyway. And he doesn't care if his bootlickers will suffer losses. He got his affirmation in 2024 and gets to avoid being called a 1-termer, which he probably sees as being the ultimate loser.

“Nobody can believe what’s going on”

The only truthful thing he’s said so far.

Defunding (unlikely)
Challenge vs War Powers Act which from memory allows him 60-days to comply
Impeachment (would be best, but unprobable)
