GW Bush had Cheap Labor Express flunkies as chairmen.

If Trump wins the election Rinse is toast.
This is not about what "the president" can do. It's what Trump desires to do.
Any rule regarding who elects the party chair is unfair, and is not democratic. Trump will do the right thing. He will consult with his top advisor (himself), and then hire the best guys to replace Rinse, and make the best deal to do so.
