Sycophants. That's all that's left in his inner circle.

That's by design. Remember what a revolving door his first administration was? He learned from that and surrounded himself with spineless sycophants this time around.

Beyond the inner circle, Republicans are scared shit-less of stepping out of line. Those who dare are under death threats or they are fired/primaried/removed.

They want to be threatened and bossed around. That's why they're authoritarian enablers. Often it traces back to abusive parents. They're trying to impose the hell of their childhoods on those of us who didn't have such fucked-up experiences, because those are the only conditions where they feel like they know how to respond.
