Let's say t really does want to take over Greenland and Canada and Panama ...

That's the way thugocracies roll, after all. And let's suppose they all say "no way." Next step: he orders sequential or (more likely, given his personality) concurrent invasions of G, C, and P. This will stretch the military w-a-a-a-a-y too thin, so SecDef Hegseth (or his replacement) calls in Warfighters Inc, but this is a three (four, five?) front war by now, so it's time to bring back the draft. The High School kids are basically going to have to pre-qualify for military slots (per Project 2025 iirc), so they can be drafted and placed in the proper training area in one fell swoop.

When will the majority of Americans protest Will it ever happen or will most be all in on the Great Trumpistanian War?

Also, the war hawks in Dump's proposed cabinet are talking up regime change in Iran, Cuba and possibly even China.
Don't underestimate their stupidity, especially since there will not be any adults left in the room this time.

Where NATO joins due to Article 5 (Canada). Then China joins the war since they see a golden opportunity to weaken us further. Kind of like WW2, but where China plays the part of the Soviet Union, and the US is Nazi Germany. We know how that ended for them.

Since they are intellectually incapable of understanding that fallout goes with the prevailing winds, and doesn’t care who it kills.
