The GOP elite joined their attacks but it has no real effect on Trump’s popularity.
In the 1980s, people used to joke Reagan was the Teflon President and no one had been able to scratch Trump.
None of their attacks upon him are working.
Trump shouldn’t have all the reporters on AF1. All he needs is his Press Secretary, and she can answer media questions when they get back.
They can fly wherever they want on their own, but no pressers until back home.
