Deep dives
Trump's Loyalty Mandate
Donald Trump emphasizes the critical nature of loyalty among Republicans, using his public tirade to signal harsh consequences for those who criticize him. He directly labels individuals like Nikki Haley, Liz Cheney, and Mike Pence as disloyal, making it clear that past support or flattery won't guarantee a return to favor. This creates a climate where potential critics are wary of speaking out, understanding that loyalty is the only currency that matters in Trump’s sphere. The message resonates strongly: any dissent leads to permanent exile from influence and opportunities within the party.
