24. Worse than getting their very bad bill, they have achieved more power

than anyone has ever had. They control the Supreme Court, 6 to 3 including some of the most outside the mainstream Justices. This was not all Trump, Alito was confirmed at a point that he should have been filibustered. Kerry and Kennedy tried, but could not get all the Democrats needed to oppose him. Thomas should have been defeated when GHWB nominated him. But, the three Trump justices sealed their control and they have supported Trump and the right wing agenda.

They also control the House and Senate at least until the Midterms.

They also have been going after liberal states and cities

So, they are likely considering does Trump help or hurt them going forward. This would include economic and policy actions and whether he helps or hurts in future elections.
