What a crazy situation. This is more-or-less a rhetorical question: Is there anything Trump could do to have the GOP turn on him?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Release the Epstein files with no redactions except for his name
that would be so fuckin' funny
UBI
Nationalize a big industry
Legalize it
Legalize it
They could probably get on board with legalizing weed while also "cracking down" on harder shit re: Venezuela
maybe change LSD to estrogen and you'd be right
Very excited for the irony poisoned posting of 2035, 60% climate disaster and 40% photos of Trump with the caption "could transition have saved her?"
Traffic into the US, national and local businesses are still sending you advertisements at the same rate
Oops. I botched the title. I fixed it.
impossible to overstate how much it is the 6th century AD
The Treatstream pipeline has been destroyed
Is the de minimus revocation a stealth tactic for destroying the USPS?
im willing to bet all shipping companies are hurting under this. a lot of jp shipping proxies are refusing to send packages to the US now.
Can't even blame this on the electoral college, lmao. Trump and his tariffs won the popular vote. The American people chose this.
President I Didn't Vote actually won by like 7%, as they do every election.
I Didn’t Vote lost 2020, but that was their first loss since 1908
Even in 2020, I Didn't Vote won by almost 3 million votes
"I'll take whoever" isn't exactly an emphatic rejection
Can't even blame this on the electoral college, lmao.
For weeks after the election Bluesky libs were so annoyed, so huffy, and so tedious.
A normal rando who doesn't follow politics 24/7 would say "Trump won the majority of the popular vote."
Libs would swarm on them. They would correct them over-and-over again: "I'll have you know that Trump did not get a majority of the popular vote. He got ~1.5% more than Kamala but less than 50%."
The number bounced around a little I think the final number was Trump got 49.8%. Oh my god! Definitely not anywhere close to 50%!
I know libs obsess over their two party system, but surely they realise that 3rd parties would account for why the two major parties combined results don't add up to 100%
they realise that 3rd parties
It will always be funny to me how the liberals go on and on and on about voting yet they get so mad if a non-republican doesn't vote for their candidates. It's like it would destroy the entire democratic party if they moved one millimeter to the left.
it would destroy the entire democratic party
lol, I ordered something after the de minimus ended not realizing it was shipping from Shanghai. Didn’t pay a tariff and I still got my package 
What is this wizardry?
On the other hand - maybe Trump will illegally create the de minimus cops and they'll do a non-knock raid on your house to collect "monies owed".
I think they just don’t have the manpower to enforce it
de maximus cops
Yes, I support sanctions on the US, thank you Comrade Trump!
the remaining 20% is just dark web drug traffic and spam mail.
Preventing myself from snorting drugs, by sawing off my nose.
I think I'm gonna buy some bicycle crap that I will need in the next two years or so because a lot of it is exclusively made in Japan or China and I'm afraid once warehouse stock depletes the prices are going to double.
