Nuking social security would be the quickest way to get the entire country to turn against you. Trump may not have to worry about re-election but other republicans do

Yes but you see Trump doesn't give two squirts of runny shit about what happens to them or anybody else. He actively wants to punish the people who don't lick his boots hard or fast enough, and couldn't care less if the ones who do are collateral damage.

Trump doesn't give a shit about other Republicans. Either they fall in line or he sends his attack dogs after them. His loyalty extends only so far as they continue to do what he wants.

I am not confident in the GOP's ability to resist pressure from Trump. They keep putting up token resistance and then caving.
