General Discussion

Trump can be counted on doing two things: One, he is reactive and, second, he is vengeful. What this means is that he never thinks about the consequences. Look at what he did to Iran. He expected NATO to step in when things began to fall apart. And, now that the economy is going south, and gas prices are going up, he simply pushes aside the criticism by either asking Americans to put up with it, or that he doesn't care.

So, yes, now that the Republicans he pushed aside have nothing to lose, it's time to go scorched earth.
