Trump Warns Republicans Refusing to Support Him: ‘They’re Gonna Have a Big Problem’

Donald Trump reacted to Republicans publicly and privately declaring their opposition to him by warning them that might give him grounds to consider his GOP loyalty pledge violated.

#NeverTrump trended on Twitter yesterday and there were reports yesterday that Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell is telling other Republicans that they may just run against Trump and “drop him like a hot rock.”

In response to all this, Trump told Jake Tapper that his loyalty pledge was “a two-way street,” and “they’re gonna have a problem, they’re gonna have a big problem with me.”

Tapper asked Trump if he really thinks this opposition to him is the same as violating the pledge.

Trump said “totally,” and again warned, “I can play that game much more than they can” with more people.
