Uncle Sam might be sad, but the trapping is quite intentional. Uncle Sam could have said no, but he didn’t. There are thousands of uncle Sams out there today saying yes. And that’s terrifying.
He did something and didn’t realize the consequences?! I’m shocked!
The system’s checks and balances prevent any one person from having enough power to cause problems like this.

I think you’re overthinking it, trump choose to put himself in this situation = uncle sam choose to trap himself in the corner
It’s just the exit…
