Let’s be real here: the only reason Republican congressmen were distancing themselves from Trump was because they were afraid he was going to cost them their jobs and their majority.

He didn’t.

The Republican-led Congress has no reason not to go along with whatever President Trump says and does in office. There are no “checks and balances” for him.

This is exactly what I fear, with the lone hope being that he’s such an arbitrary loose cannon that he will, at some point, manage to genuinely piss them off.
