    Trump won’t, but some politicians are trying to distance themselves. For example Greene. That doesn’t mean she now is trustworthy (quite the opposite) but it will be hindrance to him.

    This also is signal to those that are doing their bidding like ICE that they might be on the losing side and be thrown under the bus.

    Same with service members.

    They need other people to do their bidding.

      Supposedly MTG was specifically instructed not to run for reelection by Trump (and defying such commands by a party leader is political suicide of course), so now she’s lashing out and trying to knock him down a few pegs, likely banking on looking better when he either passes or falls from power, whichever happens first

      Nah, this will not happen. People like Greene are irrelevant, as Trump has bullied far more popular politicians out of office without the power of the state at his disposal. ICE are Trump’s most loyal and will never abandon him; only service members forced to break their oaths would ever turn on him, and I doubt anything outside of impending nuclear Holocaust will build enough momentum to topple him.
