The person, Donald Trump, is an opportunist.
The politician, SuperTrump, is a populist.
I don't buy that Trump drove this in any significant sense. If so, it would have been one vote. His orders in all CAPS convinced exactly nobody.
Some supporters in Congress are just getting the un-employed politician into the news.
He is not helping them - they got what they wanted despite him, not because of him.
They are helping him. To appear relevant. And to make you forget he was absolutely no help winning the significant things that were won. And would not have been won if the rebels had listened to compromise-first Trump.
Trump did the same thing with TrumpRyanCare. Except that time the HFC won completely.
Trump IS, by definition, the establishment candidate for president.

Yep,
Just like every President since 1790, Trump is part of the establishment of The United States.
Guess what?
All of Trump’s opponents in the 2024 primaries will also be part of the establishment of the United States.
