It can now safely be said, as his first term in the White House draws toward closure, that Donald Trump’s party is the very definition of a cult of personality. It stands for no special ideal. It possesses no organizing principle. It represents no detailed vision for governing. ...

“Owning the libs and pissing off the media,” shrugs Brendan Buck, a longtime senior congressional aide and imperturbable party veteran if ever there was one. “That’s what we believe in now. There’s really not much more to it.”

Even Republican strategists have no clue why the party they support is doing what it's doing, but I think that the answer is pretty straightforward: TrumpCo is simply a massive, fraudulent, criminal organization which is performing a smash-and-grab operation on the American taxpayer (as well as on Republican donors).

We've known this all along of course, but it's slowly starting to dawn on GOP party loyalists that something might be amiss, which is why they're standing around scratching their heads in confusion as the whole thing starts to collapse.
