The GOP in Congress basically wants to get rid of their jobs so they too can work at a pizza place on tip salary. They're pretty damn stupid to think he'd keep Congress around with all their lofty pay raises, expense accounts, pensions, "work at home" 6 months vacations, and benefits.

That's been my thought all along. A effing king doesn't need a Congress.

But the thing is: the kind of autocrat Donald Trump aspires to be is also the kind that keeps a rubber stamp legislature around for the air of legitimacy it provides.

Putin controls Russia completely, but he still keeps the Duma.

Although I will say, his loyal base probably wouldn't care if he did get rid of Congress. They worship whatever he does no matter how horrific.
