Summary
President, in the Oval Office, with an assortment of weapons, and one war. Returning Republican senators are unlikely to blame President Trump publicly. But do expect departing GOP lawmakers to take shots at Trump or his team, and Trump to fire back at Senate Republicans, whom he's never been shy about torching.
