Trump might represent the Republican party, but the Republican party is not fully behind him. They might get behind him now that the election is over AND he is in office, but this hasn't been a normal election and I am guessing this will not be a normal administration.

For starters, he goes on trail for fraud on November 28th. His foundation is under investigation by the state of NY, and there are hundreds of other legal issues - these will not go away once he becomes president. As these items come to light the Republican party might shy away from him, and Trump will be at war (again) with his own party.

It's entirely possible that Trump will not have the support of the Republican party and the Democratic party.

I think the republicans will fall in line behind trump for fear of losing their seats in the next election. just saw some rupublican who denounced him say they voted for him anyway, their seat in congress means more than their values!
