Trump treats GOP senators with ‘hostility’ as he’s ‘keenly aware’ of rebellion: insiders
President Donald Trump is digging in on several controversial priorities despite knowing he’s “paying a price among Senate Republicans” — who, multiple insiders told The Washington Post, are growing increasingly “tired of carrying that weight.” “It’s been one self-inflicted wound after another,” a Republican strategist told the Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “Senate…
