Trump COLLAPSES after Senate VOTES AGAINST HIM

Trump COLLAPSES after Senate VOTES AGAINST HIM Republicans in the Senate just killed a resolution that would have limited President Trump’s ability to use military force in Venezuela. But the real story isn’t the outcome — it’s what happened before the vote.

Earlier this month, five Republican senators broke ranks and joined Democrats to advance a war powers resolution requiring congressional approval before deploying U.S. troops. That alone was extraordinary. These weren’t anti-Trump Republicans — they were lawmakers who usually avoid crossing him.

One of them, Senator Josh Hawley, said his concern was simple: he didn’t want U.S. ground troops sent to Venezuela without Congress’s approval. The administration told him they weren’t planning to do that — which raises a key question. If that’s true, why oppose Congress putting that limit in writing?

Trump reportedly exploded, calling the senators disloyal and attacking them publicly. That reaction reveals what this was really about: power, not policy.

This vote shows something new. Fear of Trump inside the Republican Party has limits. Senators are responding to voters who are exhausted by endless foreign conflicts and wary of unchecked executive power.

The resolution may be dead, but the message is loud and clear: Trump’s control isn’t absolute — and that’s what truly rattles him.
