Donald Trump will throw anybody under the bus, including loyalist members of his own party, if they get in the way of his political needs.

Trump isn’t concerned about the well being of the American people, or the fact that they are in a dire position and need immediate assistance. Trump doesn’t want his bill signing ceremony to happen on a Saturday when fewer people will be paying attention.

This president is only worried about media coverage and publicity, and Thomas Massie made the worst mistake of his career when he tried to pre-empt the Trump show.
