Trump’s War on His Own Party

from The Briefing Room · host Marcus S. Atkinson

“I Told You So: Trump’s War on His Own Party”The MAGA promise, the revenge bill, and the Senate he still needsOn this episode of The Briefing Room, we take an “I told you so” look at Donald Trump’s escalating war on his own party. From Ken Paxton’s high-dollar Texas runoff victory over John Cornyn to growing friction with Republican senators who still control Trump’s legislative fate, this episode asks a simple question: What happens when revenge becomes a governing strategy? We compare what Trump promised the MAGA crowd — strength, discipline, winners — with the reality now unfolding inside the GOP: expensive internal battles, shaken alliances, and a Senate that may be less willing to bend than the movement expected.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-briefing-room--5656912/support.
