Republicans Show Spine as Trump’s Corrupt Spell Fades
Despite past acquiescence from powerful institutions and Republican lawmakers, President Trump’s recent actions suggest a potential shift. His unprecedented $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, culminating in a $1.8 billion settlement establishing a political slush fund potentially for January 6th rioters, along with granting his family immunity from prosecution, has drawn sharp criticism. This, coupled with attempts to penalize disloyal Republicans, has ignited pushback from within his own party, with Senate Republicans refusing funding for his projects and questioning his attorney general, indicating a possible breaking of Trump’s influence.
