I admit to not knowing many Repubs. Fewer still who voted for him to be prez (one to be exact). So, I do not profess to know what most Repubs think about the first week of his presidency. But I am hard pressed to believe the marginal voters who are responsible for returning trump to the White House voted for the release of violent criminals who beat police officers in pursuit of his goal to steal the election.
A judge sentenced a Jan. 6 defendant who assaulted a former D.C. police officer during the Capitol riot to prison, but that officer fears the sentence won’t be served.
On Jan. 6, 2021, Officer Michael Fanone was assaulted so badly at the U.S. Capitol he suffered a heart attack and a traumatic brain injury.
“I think that is the most difficult experience that I've got to live with for rest of my life is just being betrayed by your country,” he said.
Fanone said he’s attended court hearings for at least six insurrectionists, including one on Friday for 59-year-old Lewis Snoots of Virginia. Snoots pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced to almost six years in prison for pushing Fanone and helping others assault him.

Or the illegal firing of 17 Inspector's General who are protected from politically motivated dismissal by an act of Congress passed in 2022. Or the nomination, now confirmation, of a manifestly unqualified former TV anchor to run Dept. of Defense with its 3.4M employees.
The President was elected largely based on a populist agenda that promised to address the nation's problem with illegal immigration and on the idea he could bring the price of consumer goods like groceries down. Not an agenda based on retribution, grievance, and choosing many cabinet nominees for their unquestioning compliance with his wishes, not their competence.
