The One-way Loyalty Street: How will Trump’s followers react to finding out how he really feels about them?
How does Trump really feel about the people he’s ginned up to “take back” the country?
I think he hates them. How could he not despise people so willing to believe his lies? He may have their loyalty, but we know Trump is loyal to none.
The January 6th Committee has subpoenaed documents, including phone records of conversations between Trump and his closest WH advisers on the day of the insurrection. As expected, Trump ordered his minions not to respond to the subpoenas or cooperate with the Committee, but that’s okay. The Committee will get the docs anyway, from the National Archives.
Biden has ruled that executive privilege will not be used to block the release of these documents. So, Trump has gone from nervous to irate.
What will happen if the records the Committee accesses from the National Archives include comments from Trump that denigrate his followers?
What influence Trump has is based entirely on the Republican base believing he’s loyal to them, and thinks they are special. That is also the primary reason Republicans in Congress do his dirty work — they need the base to support them in 2022.
