He's fucking right. They'd be blowing the damn roof off the place if anyone else was pulling this bullshit.

The old Republican guard is dead and gone. Now it's either full loyalty to MAGA or leaving the party altogether.

Some Republicans are grumbling about tariffs, but they know actually doing anything about it will cause the party and Trump to turn on them like sharks smelling blood in the water.

It’s turned into money before country. These folks could turn on trump and be ostracized, and then go out and get some cushy consulting job or some shit and still make bank. Greed trumps all.
