Watch Fox spin this about him “making this about race”, those morally-bankrupt leeches.

There is definitely a shift happening on the right. Hell, Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro are now publicly denouncing Trump's tariffs.

Republicans up for reelection in 2026 are going to fight Trump on this, it'll be interesting to see if the moderate/legacy conservatives break ship from the Trump party by the end of this term because remember.. Trump CANT run.

Why do these brain dead selfish fucks only say something or are against him when they're up for re-election?

That's why I hate Republicans in Congress. The whole batch of them are selfish fucks. Even the everyday not in Congress clowns.

They don't give a fuck until it directly effects them.

I hate every Republican in Congress for not unanimously impeaching Trump for constantly violating the constitution. As far as I'm concerned, they're all complicit in what is essentially a soft coup. They realized Jan 6 wasn't gonna work so they just did it electorally, whether that be legitimate or through voter machine fuckery (I still think some aspects of the election are pretty sus).

Obama's 100% correct. If he or Kamala even thought about half the shit Trump is doing, they'd be fillibustering and trying to impeach them every day of the week.

Literally the only thing these fuckers care about is power, and their power alone. Your rights mean nothing to them as long as it doesn't affect their bottom dollar.

Yep, that's literally their entire worldview.

Conservatism is a personality, and a foundational part of that personality is getting in line. There will be no Republican resistance to Trump, only milquetoast snippets immediately after he does something indefensible.

Have you forgotten all the accurate things Republicans said about Trump in 2016? What did it amount to?

No, they are purposely shifting into the propaganda you just put forth. Led by Ted and Ben. That's the prosperous future?

Trump will run.
