10. This is actually one of the few things that could get some Republicans to turn on Trump

A lot of Republicans in Congress aren't as stupid as Trump and they can see that Trump is leading us down a road to destroy ALL of our alliances with other countries. If the US is left with no allies, even a lot of Republicans are smart enough to see that the effects of that will not end well for the US. For now, we just have a number of them being somewhat critical of Trump in brief statements. The question is if/when Trump will push things too far and trigger a more impactful response? Stay tuned.

He already has the NY Post and WSJ editorial board publicly criticizing him for his words/actions in the past week. I never thought we'd see that happen
