Republican lawmakers find themselves in a bind. They have to shuffle between supporting a President and objecting to him.
Their decisions are based on what Trump says and do. They have found themselves on his side one moment and against the next.
Their relationship with the President is like a “see saw”. One moment it is up, the next it is down.
It is unlikely that any other Congress has had it so rough. Any Government at all whether it is Republican or Democrat.
Trump has blamed lawmakers for many of his shortcomings, but is this true?
Bill of Rights
For some lawmakers their biggest concern is the First Amendment. They are not happy with what the President is doing in regards to that bill.
Sen. James Lankford won’t get into a discussion about Trump’s fitness to lead. But he will speak out against any attacks to the First Amendment.
He said “I don’t want anyone, from any party, deciding what the press can and cannot write.”
Lankford continued “I would also say, first things first on it, the American people pick who is fit for office. I don’t question his fitness for office based on a preference on how he communicates.”
The Senator has chosen to speak cautiously on certain matters regarding the President. Many of his colleagues are up in arms, but they have also been very cautious.
