Susan Collins (Maine), chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee; and Sen. Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), the former Republican leader.

Just today Trump stated that he "wasn't sure" that he must uphold the Constitution.

He took the oath to do exactly that only a few months ago.

So, yeah. Trump and the GOP want Big Government provided that Trump can be the Big Man.
