Trump has not only brought his internal opposition to heel, he has turned his party into a cult of personality exceeding anything the modern American system has ever produced.
The once-fierce internal opposition to Trump is now limited to a handful of retired or retiring officials. Ted Cruz called Trump “utterly amoral” and a “pathological liar”; Marco Rubio called him a “con man”; Lindsey Graham termed Trump a “kook” who was “unfit to be president.” Trump’s behavior in office has borne out all these assessments, yet their authors now grovel before him.
It is true that Republicans have largely co-opted Trump into supporting a traditional Republican agenda. But in cases where he has diverged from their stated preferences, they have swallowed their doubts. Efforts to craft an immigration compromise have floundered, and Republicans have not moved a bill to protect Robert Mueller’s investigation. Trump has flagrantly defied party orthodoxy by launching simultaneous trade wars against most of the world, using authority that Congress had granted to the president decades ago and could take back. And despite the fact that a bill revoking the absurdly over-broad presidential power to impose tariffs on anything for “national security” reasons would command huge support among both parties, neither chamber of Congress has done anything. “Ninety-five percent of the people on this [Republican] side of the aisle support intellectually this amendment” to revoke the tariffs, complained Senator Bob Corker, who is of course retiring, but are afraid “we might poke the bear.”
Their fear is perfectly rational. Republican voters have elevated unconditional support for Trump into a first principle. One Republican operative recently told Matt Lewis that the topic his candidate is asked most frequently, after sanctuary cities, is, “Do you stand with our president?” Republican National Committee chair Ronna Romney McDaniel declared, “Anyone that does not embrace the @realDonaldTrump agenda of making America great again will be making a mistake.”
Dow breaks to loss for the year....Why is donnie so quiet about that...>I know....he is gloating like the asshole he is with these great victory's he has orchestrated.....
Gross domestic product increased at a 2.0 percent annual rate in the January-March period, the Commerce Department said on Thursday in its third estimate of first-quarter GDP, instead of the 2.2 percent pace it reported last month.

Ahead of Putin summit, Trump casts doubt on Russian meddling Dylan Stableford
Shortly before the White House announced President Trump will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July, the commander in chief relayed Moscow’s denial that it interfered in the 2016 presidential election — despite the conclusions of U.S. intelligence agencies that it did.
“Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election!” Trump tweeted on Thursday. “Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t Shady James Comey and the now disgraced FBI agents take and closely examine it? Why isn’t Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption!”
