Trump is acting like a dictator who is not worried about polling and elections.
He's probably not worried about polling or elections. He's not going to be in another election. He doesn't seem to care too much about the long-term political health of the GOP. He would certainly prefer that his loyal supporters win seats and have a majority in Congress, but he's pretty much written off having any kind of legislative agenda for a while now, not even bothering with a second reconciliation package. He appears to be perfectly happy just exercising the considerable powers of the Presidency and making sure that the folks who are in Congress are his allies, rather than worrying about polling - hence, the non-endorsement in Texas.
