At the height of the MAGA movement I can understand how betraying Trump would be political suicide, but now with his approval at 33% and support for his foreign policy perhaps even lower, I have to assume the republicans in office are quite pleased with what he's doing. (see Lindsey Graham)

Indeed, Trump may just be acting as their alter ego and the cowardice is that they never had the nerve to step up and commit social and economic atrocities themselves.
