    The Republicans never really had control of him. I think they fear him dying on them and them not been able to hold MAGA together without his unique brand of genuine crazy.

    Maybe next time they pick a puppet president they go with someone who knows the score, and isn’t under the delusion they’re in change.

      That is the gamble with useful idiots though, sometimes they can surprise you.

      I think the Republican party is getting increasingly concerned that what little control and manipulation they had on him is fading fast.

      I also think they need to have someone who thinks they’re in charge so they can project bravado and power to the undereducated base that is MAGA. No “strongman”, no MAGA

        The GOP are like dogs feeding on scraps dropped from a picnic table. They don’t really care who actually organized the picnic, as long as they get a few bites.
