What a perfect description of he and many of the other Rump Repugs (Rumpugnicans?)

obsequious
/əbˈsēkwēəs/

Obsequious describes someone who is excessively eager to please, flatter, or obey others—particularly authority figures—in a fawning, servile manner to gain favor. It implies a lack of sincerity and a submissive, compliant attitude. Common synonyms include fawning, servile, submissive, sycophantic, ingratiating, groveling, toadying, and compliant.

Perfect.
