I don't think so.  Why should they?  Trump is president now, not a candidate.  He will only become a liability to the party as time goes on and so his bargaining power will diminish.  But maybe Trump doesn't care to accomplish anything in the reality that people other than his followers acknowledge.  His own reality may be sufficient, in which case he can only succeed.

Still early days, too early to just assume he's not going to bother with any of his campaign promises.  The Presidency is not a completely powerless position.
