Trump's criminal rebrand of the GOP

Today’s Republican Party is a de facto political crime organization. Donald Trump continues to be the Big Boss. With his win in the Iowa Republican caucus, Trump further cemented his control over the Republican Party. His “rivals” are all fading away as they try to win back his favor and hope to be hired in the new regime if he takes power in 2025.

In all, the Republican presidential primaries are like a form of political kabuki theater or professional wrestling, as the outcome was very much preordained, even though the commentariat, news media, and others fixated on the “horse race” and “contest” convinced themselves it could somehow turn out any other way than Trump being his party’s candidate for president in 2024.
