It's the Trump Party now; Republicans are no more. They have given all their power over to the felon.

Government employees are going unpaid during the shutdown, food stamps and other programs are about to come to a screeching halt, and the tariffs continue to hurt ordinary Americans, but the mobster doesn’t care.
