The function of the RNC changes again if Trump becomes president. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, weaponizes government agencies, and becomes a dictator on “Day One,” the RNC is likely to become a tool for some epic-level shakedowns of individuals and corporations, reminiscent of Trump’s mob-like past. “Nice corporation you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it. So, how much can we put you down for in contributions this year?”
Corporations are likely to comply as long as they think paying the extortion is less of a hassle than fighting it. The RNC, for its part, will try to calibrate its demands to a level just below the point where corporations and wealthy individuals will balk. In practice, this looks like fundraising at a level never seen before by the RNC. In practice, a staggering amount will almost surely end up directly in the offshore accounts of the Trump family.
He’ll also likely use it to extort favor with foreign countries. With the Supreme Court about to rule that rex non potest peccare (the king can do no wrong) and Trump filling every government agency with MAGA true believers top to bottom, there will be no consequences, ever, for clearly illegal actions like accepting overseas campaign donations. If no one in the federal government is willing to investigate, prosecute, or enforce laws barring Trump and the RNC from taking in massive donations from illegal sources, there’s no disincentive to doing so. Given how much Trump seems to have taken from Saudi Arabia and China, this seems less like speculation and more like a promise. The RNC will provide the infrastructure to do this more effectively.

Pure projection.
Whereas if this were Chelsea Clinton at the DNC, I bet it would be “incredible synergy” or something…
Just think...if it was hereditary
we could look forward to the Hunter Biden administration !!!
The author describes exactly what the left has been doing for years, both in general and to Trump in particular.
It’s pure projection. And it’s indicative of mental illness.
Over the past few decades, we have had the Kennedys, the Clinton, the Bushes, etc. Mitt Romney’s niece presided over GOP losses over several election cycles. I think our nation will survive the daughter of a Presidential nominee being the head of the RNC.
Never mind “mob-like”.
Who is governing like the mob right now?
Free coke and hookers for everyone!
She wants to put all the RNC’s money to paying her father in law’s legal bills, with nothing for Senate or House candidates, or much for Donald’s campaign.
