This update proves the point about how Trump treats people, everyone around him, and once he's done with them (feels they are no longer needed or wanted or just plainly useless), he drops them like a hot potato. Case in point is this update (July 5) from Business Insider with this headline:
“Trump has cut off Rudy Giuliani, and is annoyed that he asked to be paid for his work on challenging the election, book says”

Wake up, Mr. and Mrs. Greedy
Old Partisans: Donald J. Trump’s loyalty always been and always
will remain a one-way street.
Let’s face it, this “new” Trump-owned and operated GOP has been
had by the most-skilled con man ever. His snake oil is not cheap, either. In the long
run there is always a heavy price to pay. He demands it.
Here is an excellent opinion piece from
MSNBC (written by Michael A. Cohen - not the fixer one) with this headline addressing the
topic (to fit the blog):
“Trump cost the GOP both
races and control of the Senate. What's next?”
Trump
couldn't care less about the Republicans' political success.
Sen. Lindsay Graham, (R-SC) said in May: “There's no way this party is going to stay
together without President Trump and his supporters.”
But reality tells us something different: When Trump is not traveling the country complaining about the
election he claims was stolen from him, he is sending out deranged emails to
reporters, also complaining about the election that he claims was stolen from
him. What Trump is not doing is making a case against President Biden on behalf of the party that has come to be defined completely by him.
Yet Republicans appear to have made a strategic choice to believe that their best hope to win back control of Congress is to tie themselves completely to Trump.
The problem with this approach is becoming
increasingly clear: Trump remains mired in the past re-litigating the 2020
election and always focused on settling scores with his perceived enemies, be
they Democrats, or his fellow Republicans.
As president, Trump only cared about helping the GOP insofar as it boosted him, whether politically or psychologically.
His post-presidency
looks to be no different. The problem for Republicans is Trump couldn't care
less about their political success as he directs his boundless animus against
them.

– check out both – very good reads.
My 2 Cents: As long as the
GOP base keeps showing their loyalty to Trump by sticking with him, then those
in office, or those seeking office will have no choice but to stick by him, too
– and that is their proof meets pudding moment.
They need him to stay in office,
or try and gain office and the name, fame, and fortune of any office, or just be
kicked to the proverbial curb if they stop worshiping at his alter. He would drop them like a bad habit as they say, and he has the record to show it.
Just ask around (e.g.,
former attorney-fixer, Michael Cohen; former AG Barr; former AG and Sen. Jeff
Sessions; several former Chiefs of Staff, and many, many other high-profile well-known
people).
They all got canned from
positions around Trump whom he still name-calls, bashes, insults publicly, and belittles them in his speeches. Then he tosses them side like an old pair of shoes. That
is the “Wrath of Don” as it were.
That is Donald J. Trump –
that is his M.O. – that is in his DNA. He will never ever change; he can’t.
And, you know what? He knows it, too; that is his skill.
He is in a word:
Incorrigible.
Thanks for stopping by.
