    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!

    Dive into the latest episode of The DMZ with Matt Lewis and Bill Scher, breaking down Donald Trump's bold foreign policy moves in 2026.  From the dramatic arrest of Maduro in Venezuela and claims of U.S. oil interests, to Trump's persistent Greenland ambitions and comparisons to Teddy Roosevelt's imperialism – is this a coherent "Donroe Doctrine" or ego-driven adventurism? We explore the through lines: spheres of influence, interventionism beyond the Western Hemisphere (like bombing Iran), and the risks of resurrecting great-power conflicts.  Plus, insider analysis on Marco Rubio's rising influence as Secretary of State, his potential motivations tied to Cuba, and how Venezuela is shaking up the 2028 GOP race against JD Vance. Bill draws historical parallels to Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and the post-WWII order, warning of long-term instability.  Could Trump's "points on the board" make him historically great – or lead to disaster?
