that would be willing to carry the Democrats news efforts.

The GOP may control the Americn MSM, they do not, however, control the international ones. If the international news sources carried the Democrats' efforts is would be pretty damning for the US internationally. Donald Trump would be viewed as he really is, a tin horn dictator. It will become very difficult for Trump to negotiate new treaties if no one actually takes him seriously. I could see some countries allowing him to spin his wheels and use delaying tactics to see that nothing is actually accomplished. He might find out that he doesn't have the seat at the big kids table that he thinks he has. They may let him think that he does but actually have a lot of discussions without him around.
