"Donald Trump is tightening his stranglehold on the congressional GOP's policy agenda as he reshapes Republican lawmakers' party orthodoxy on national security and social issues.
Trump's sway was on full display Wednesday as the House tried to take up a warrantless government surveillance bill that was intended to unite the party. Then, hours after the former president pushed to "kill" the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reauthorization, 19 House Republicans did just that.
He's also successfully nudging most anti-abortion conservatives to accept his call to abandon a national standard — what was once a consensus position in the GOP. That's on top of Trump's long-standing opposition to new Ukraine aid, which remains stalled on the Hill."
Watch Mike Johnson try to walk in front of Trump and Trump tells him to get behind him. Then Mike goes to touch Trump and thinks better of it. This is a party with one autocratic strongman that everyone fears. pic.twitter.com/AZ6Rpwv1wm

This party is such a fucking embarrassment, Lol. What happened to Republicans spine? Yes lord Trump, what would you have us do lord Trump, do you need us to polish your boots lord Trump? Mofo's can't even stand up against Russia anymore, just have Russia invade America and the Republicans would bend over backwards and welcome Putin in with open arms.
If these dudes love monarchies so much they should let Britain take back over America.
