Trump's about to turn the GOP into one long, humiliating episode of 'The Apprentice'
It's becoming crystal clear what President Donald Trump wants to do after he leaves the White House: He wants to turn the GOP into his old TV show, "The Apprentice."
Trump envisions a Republican Party where everyone who wants to be anyone has to vie for his approval, just like in the show. He will be both the star and the host. Forget about constituents. Forget about the party at large. Prepare to see some Omarosa Manigault behavior. That's what Trump likes.
Over the past few weeks there have been whispers around Washington about GOP lawmakers who told their Democratic colleagues that they wished they could congratulate President-elect Joe Biden and move on with our normal peaceful transition of power. But they couldn't, because Trump would be furious. Delaware Sen. Chris Coons said several GOP senators told him they couldn't speak freely ... yet.
If the GOP lets the Trump show go on, that "yet" may never come. Even as a private citizen, Trump will demand absolute loyalty — anyone who steps outside that will hear the old "You're fired."
