I honestly think to get the OBBB passed he's had to give up certain positions.
How else do you explain it?
The endorsement of Lindsey Graham, too? The resumption of aid to Ukraine?
It's all very odd and timely.
I think Trump has (had) a lot invested in getting OBBB done.
Think about it. It was his signature bill. They held it hostage and now you see why...
There is (was) a lot at stake.
>> What is taking place is the guy that those people voted for is doing what he said he would do. Those people are impatient, watching too much media news. Easily swayed. Not stepping back. Not getting back to work. Untrusting.

He’s never stuck to anything. All this kind of stuff happened in the first term too. I don’t know why anybody is surprised the 2nd time around.
Yes old saying “dont throw the baby out with the bathwater”
You do not know your Bible then as Israel had it’s Trump’s who did wonderful things in the beginning but then turned to either turning a blind eye to evil or their actions supported it...Ended badly for them...Saul comes to mind.
Saul, or Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Oh geeze
It's political horse trading. A normal, if sometimes icky, part of the system.
You're right, it's important we remember that 3 Republicans are grandstanding traitors.
