Former President Donald Trump has retained the most political power of any former U.S. president due to an “iron curtain of obedience” from Republicans, according to journalist Bob Woodward.
“What’s going on now really is an iron curtain of obedience to Trump,” Woodward said. “It’s not just polite deference, it is obedience. And it really is an iron curtain because it’s so strong. These people, like Senator Grassley, can count. They can look at the polls. They go to their home states, they talk to constituents. And there’s tens of millions of people who support Trump.”
A Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released ahead of Saturday’s rally found that Trump had a higher approval rating in Iowa than he ever did as a sitting president. He also enjoyed significantly more GOP support than Grassley—91 percent of Republicans in the state approved of the ex-president, compared to 81 percent support for the senator.
“Let’s face it: Trump’s popularity, his power in the Republican party has grown since he left office,” he added. “It has not shrunk.”

Maybe he’s not the former president. 😐
Oh, for F's sake!
This is laughable, Bob.
I think Trump was a great president, yes, and I supported his policies, very much, and thought many of his tweets were funny, and a few were cringey.
But I'm not a dog to him.
He can do things I disagree with. Many of us opposed his "Red Flag" statements about gun grabbing outside of due process.
The Washington-New York-Hollywood elite just hate the fact this guy Trump stands more so with the everyday folk and not them, and therefore that outrages them.
And so they come for us, as we won't move and be dissuaded by their lies and propaganda.
I know no one, especially here, that thinks Trump is a god, but dang it, he's better than most any other politician, especially the elite democrats and Hollywood weirdos.
It's not that we agree with Trump, but rather he agrees with US!
