You are taking it too literally. The Executive Branch is headed by the President, who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces. The responsibilities/duties of the President are spelled out in the Constitution. He is the "boss" when it comes to the daily operation of the government.

Trump is a Republican and the titular head of the GOP. Trump and the Vice President are the only Reps who ran and were elected nationally. Obama may have represented a "cult of personality," but Trump enjoys no such status among his Congressional colleagues, a number of whom are openly critical of him. Some of them refused to endorse his candidacy.

The GOP must unify around Trump or they will cease to retain control of government.

So you just do what ever the President tells you to do then? Or be politically ostracized and punished?

Sounds a little...dictator-y.

Trump tripled down on this new-found hate for the only real conservatives left in Washington. Going to need a little more convincing that I’m not being ripped off than “The GOP must unify around Trump or they will cease to retain control of government.”
