Trump is making a fool out of every Republican senator who said he learned his lesson

At least five Republican senators said they believed President Trump would act with more caution after being impeached.

Since his acquittal earlier this month, Trump has purged his administration of those he perceives as disloyal, and his attorney general has exercised unprecedented political influence over the Justice Department.

"He doesn't give a f---," a GOP strategist in frequent contact with the White House told Insider. "Why should he? He's the commander in chief, and the party did the right thing standing by him."

Trump has shown GOP senators "how foolish, naive, or hypocritical they were," one former prosecutor told Insider. "The guy is operating a well-orchestrated crime spree while making himself money and lowering his golf score at the same time."

That was just to calm things down so people would forget all about their votes when the next bid crisis came.

I also wonder - I just have to say this - that Repugs already know how the vote will come out this fall. So they don't need to worry about effects of Trump. The election is already rigged.

He's showing the world that he should have been removed.

Quoting what they said during the Impeachment.

People should be screaming at them, calling them a traitor in public. Shun them back under the rock they crawled out from under, since they were so eager to crawl up tRUMP's fat ass.
