I don't understand why Trump is so alarmed. Doesn't he have the full backing of the senate majority. With 53% approval rating overall and 94% among republicans, why would they ever want to cross him?
The End of Trumpocalypse: TBD!
More like a 53% job disapproval rating... with bad polling numbers against top potential rivals for 2020 if he's still in office for the election.

New York Times - Trump Meets With LaPierre to Discuss How N.R.A. Could Support Political Defense
The Washington Post - Trump told Russian officials in 2017 he wasn’t concerned about Moscow’s interference in U.S. election
CNN - White House restricted access to Trump's calls with Putin and Saudi crown princePresident Trump met in the Oval Office on Friday with Wayne LaPierre, the chief executive of the National Rifle Association, and discussed prospective gun legislation and whether the N.R.A. could provide support for the president as he faces impeachment and a more difficult re-election campaign, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
It was not clear whether Mr. Trump asked Mr. LaPierre for his support, or if the idea was pitched by the N.R.A. During the meeting, Mr. LaPierre asked that the White House “stop the games” over gun control legislation, people familiar with the meeting said.
It was unclear what the N.R.A.’s financial support would look like, and whether it would pay for ads, as it did during Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
