In reply to the discussion: WH-insider: Trump feels unappreciated. "This isn't what he signed up for." [View all]klook
(12,746 posts)108. He's very much appreciated by the Republicans,
who continue to undo gains made during the Obama years. While everybody's focused on the latest tantrum, blunder, or outrage coming from the Trump sideshow, they're consolidating control over state legislatures, voting processes, law enforcement, environmental regulations, the judiciary, and -- soon -- the 2020 census.
Their only real regret (and it's a big one) is that they haven't yet been able to give billionaires and multinational corporations the superfluous tax breaks they expect. Since this is the true purpose of the Republican Party, they'll keep working on that while we obsess over the careening toddler's reality show.

Poor baby. Maybe he should grow up and take responsibility for his own actions.
