Trumps game is himself, he doesn't "work" for anyone (and apparently not even his shareholders). There is no higher power with him, the upside of that, is that he is free to say whatever he wants, whenever he wants and get away with things.
The downside, is that Trump is no conservative either, he may not like Rove, but make no mistake, he isn't that different in that he is always always after his own agenda.......
That may explain his past cooperation with the liberals. For quite some time, Libs have been in a position to make his business efforts VERY difficult. Now that the Pubbies are running the House, he feels he can speak out in a "conservative" way without any backlash.
