No matter what they say they will turn around and vote to support whatever moronic shit he comes up with

Senate Republicans: "Congress needs to have a say in military action! We're going to vote to ensure it happens!"

Trump to Senate Republicans: "Don't vote for this or I'll have you primaried and have my supporters make death threats to you and your family."

Senate Republicans: "We got assurances from the administration that we'll be included in any future actions, so no need for this anymore."

Pathetic.

Oh noes! Not rhetoric! I hope they don't mock, slam, or criticize!
