Punchbowl News looks at what it will be like to be in Washington for a Trump presidency:
- “Trump’s word is all that matters. Period. There were several times during the last Trump presidency when his administration negotiated legislative compromises only to find out that the president wasn’t supportive. You can only believe what Trump says. Nothing else.”
- “The information flow is a gusher. Trump talks to everyone at all times. He calls members of Congress directly and has them down to the White House at all hours of the day. If you’re a reporter or a Hill aide, you should pray you can keep up with it.”
- “Republicans will fall in line with most everything Trump wants. The ride will be bumpy at times, but Trump is the most popular figure in the party’s history. It will be in Republican lawmakers’ interest to line up with the president.”
