9. We have midterms coming up. What if the EU and others did the same here?

I would love to see the EU and other important allies say, "If the Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate in the 2026 election then they will cut off aid/trade with the US until such time as the Democrats regain control of the US government."

It would make the MAGA's freak the fuck out.

"Foreign interference!!!!" they would cry. And they'd be right. But isn't the Old Man doing the same thing with this threat to Argentina?
