I think it's clear that Trump is effectively the GOP senate leader. If Trump wants some laws passed - I assume he'll tell them to end the filibuster. That way they can just ignore the democrats. The senate GOPers know that Trump has the powers of a king. He can imprison, torture or kill anybody. Even them.

And I somehow have a hunch that the parliamentarian won't say a thing no matter how illegal or unconstitional Trump's actions are. Biden could only shitcan them. Trump can have their entrails pulled out and their head put on a spike.
