Dana Milbank said the GOP 'are frightened of crossing a man who warns that those who do 'put themselves at great jeopardy.''
President Donald Trump has fully co-opted the Republican Party, whose elected members now prioritize mollifying the president over serving their own constituents, a columnist has argued.
The Senate will vote this week whether to uphold Trump’s declaration, made last month after the president failed to secure the funds he was demanding for his proposed border wall, despite a 35-day federal shutdown over the dispute. The national emergency will allow Trump to access other federal funds, including those allocated to the Pentagon.
The Post has reported that Trump has his eye on as much as $6 billion in Pentagon funds, which alone is more than his $5.7 billion that led to the government shutdown. Details have been sparse, but the military has already suggested around $1 billion will come from money set aside for recruiting and pensions.
“The one-time party of fiscal discipline just received a budget from Trump proposing years of trillion-dollar deficits,” he noted. “The party of free trade is now condoning Trump’s trade wars. The party of law and order blesses Trump’s attacks on the Justice Department and the FBI, and the party of personal responsibility accepts his payment of hush money to an adult-film actress.”
