Trump just totally dissed Turtle. Interesting to see

body language as dolt45 leaving. He ignored him and Turtle was like a lapdog starving for affection. Trump turned back and said something terse or so it seemed. Like person who loves too much.Turtle will try harder.

a crooked one at that, who might just be headed to prison. I really can't believe that all these people actually worship him and think highly of him. It's just baffling to me.

And the Republicans in Congress will make sure nothing happens to him at all.

Implies to me that they think Trump's gonna be around for the foreseeable future. They want his numbers to go up because they want to get reelected themselves. Plus they know how vindictive he is and they don't want trump dissing them in election season. Remember all repukes have to have trump supporters to win themselves

Which makes me think they know something we don't. Because they certainly can't respect the man for who he is as a person, so it must be because he has some power that he can use over them, which is a really disturbing thought.

they will get their heads cut off it they don't act right.

On the other hand, maybe it's more simple than that. Maybe they do love him for pushing through the tax cuts? Imagine their benefactors are super pleased with that. But, it's a done deal - they don't need him as much anymore.

You are right - it all doesn't make logical sense.
