Donald Trump wants to make his daughter-in-law party leader: Lara Trump, wife of Eric, son of the ex-president (center)

DLNews Politics:

In a bold move that's got the political gossip mills running overtime, former President Donald Trump is making headlines again; this time, it's a family affair. The Trump saga continues as the patriarch eyes a grand comeback for himself and the entire Trump clan. He turns the quest for the American presidency into a scene straight out of a reality TV show, with a generous sprinkle of nepotism for added flavor.

Enter stage right: Lara Trump, the former president's daughter-in-law, is now being touted for the Republican Party leadership. Yes, you read that right. In a classic display of nepotism, the Trump family is not just aiming for the White House; they're planning to take over the party's reins, too. At 77, Donald Trump is proving that retirement is merely a word, not a concept he's willing to embrace, especially when there's a political throne to reclaim and a family legacy to bolster.

Lara Trump has already appeared as a commentator on the right-wing US broadcaster Fox News. Her father-in-law is now lobbying for her to take high office in the Republican Party.

"Lara is an extremely talented communicator and is committed to everything MAGA stands for," Trump gushed in a statement, sounding more like a proud father-in-law than a former president eyeing a political strategy. Eager to rise to the challenge, Lara has become the latest Trump card (pun intended) in a game that's as much about legacy as leadership.

But wait, there's more. Trump's pick for the second co-chair is Michael Whatley, a name that rings bells for those who remember the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 elections. Whatley, a staunch Trump ally from North Carolina, is infamous for echoing the claims of election fraud that have become a rallying cry for the MAGA movement.

The former president's refusal to concede defeat to Joe Biden is the stuff of political legend, with attempts to overturn the election results becoming a key chapter in the Trump lore. As Trump leads the race for the Republican presidential nomination, far ahead of competitors like Nikki Haley, his suggestions for the RNC leadership carry the weight of a frontrunner who's not just playing to win but playing to dominate.

With the Republican National Committee (RNC) at the heart of the nomination process, Trump's influence could reshape the party's future. The RNC, tasked with organizing the nomination party conference, has been under the leadership of Ronna McDaniel since 2017. McDaniel, related to Senator Mitt Romney, represents a link to a different Republican era, one that Trump has consistently sought to redefine or outright replace.

As the Trump family gears up for what could be the most dramatic political comeback in recent history, the lines between politics, family, and spectacle blur even further. With Lara Trump poised to lead the RNC, the Trump dynasty's ambitions are clear: to make America Trump again. What’s next? Will his oldest son, Donald  (Don) Trump Jr., be his vice-presidential running mate? Stay tuned, folks. This show is far from over.
