Trump marks one year back in power with Davos threats on Greenland, erratic tariffs, and a "might makes right" worldview. Bill Scher breaks down why much of it won't last — and what it means for America's global role. Trump just told Davos he "won't use force" to take Greenland — but insists the US must own it for security. On the one-year anniversary of his second term, Matt Lewis and Bill dissect Trump's power games: erratic threats, unilateral tariffs that could vanish overnight, the fading US-led world order, Starship Troopers-level "might makes right" vibes, and why his legacy might be more ephemeral than it seems.In this DMZ episode:-- Greenland obsession: Psychological win or strategic folly?-- Tariffs as childish leverage vs. real legislation-- Venezuela ops & domestic overreach-- Has Trump permanently broken alliances? Or is recalibration inevitable?-- Democrats' path forward amid Electoral College shifts-- And MUCH more!
