Trump has no ideology, but he got to where he is by using the Republican Party, which was already being taken over by the extremists (Boehner was ousted for being too liberal). The extremists are his power base in Congress, and some of the remaining relative moderates are now on his enemies list for denouncing him.

I wouldn't put it past him to drop them without a second thought if they were no longer useful, but I think they will continue to be useful to him. And why wouldn't he sign whatever they give him, if it keeps them on his side?
