On Friday, Donald Trump experienced a significant political rehabilitation when the company Meta lifted restrictions and granted him access to Facebook and Instagram again.
Trump will head to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday, where he will receive the nomination as the presidential candidate, after this victory, which his ego considers significant because it allows him to return to his favourite channels of communication with citizens.
In last month's primaries, he won 2,265 delegates out of a total of 2,426 who will ultimately vote for the presidential candidate. Nikki Haley, the final candidate to withdraw from the race, only secured victories in New Hampshire and Washington, DC, and received no invitation to the party convention in Milwaukee.
Surely it will be a three-day triumphant celebration in honour of Donald Trump's return on his way to the White House, and therefore there will be no room for dissenting voices, regardless of the fact that Ms Haley has also announced that she will vote for Trump in the November presidential election.
The atmosphere that will bring more than 50,000 guests to Milwaukee in three days will be a winning one, even if not all Trump supporters had hoped for this just a few weeks ago.
A strategic mockery of Biden
Joe Biden's disastrous performance in the televised debate on CNN has turned what was previously a close race into an outright win for Trump. The forthcoming GOP convention will ride this wave of expected triumph because the principal problem is not with them but with the opposite political camp.
In recent days, Trump has tried to make Biden's inability to hold the office of president the central issue of the political battle, and his party has accepted this course of action without hesitation.
At a rally with supporters at his estate in Doral, Florida, this week, Trump spent most of his time mocking Biden, which the guests readily accepted as a political strategy.
"Biden has no idea where the hell he is" or "Hunter is in the White House running the government right now, they say" were some of Trump's statements to supporters.
The tone of mockery and ridicule of the current president's physical condition will not end with the GOP convention
The party convention in Milwaukee will continue in this spirit. The entire gathering was planned with Trump and his objectives in mind, which will be portrayed as a dual victory.
He first defeated opponents within the Republican Party by insisting on running for president, even if the GOP refused to nominate him. Another victory came against the Democratic establishment, with President Biden as its front-runner in the forthcoming presidential elections in four months.
This tone of mockery and ridicule of the current president's physical condition will not end with the GOP convention. It will remain the mainstream of Trump's campaign until the election itself, even if the Democrats change their nominee.
They are also prepared for the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris will enter the race instead of Biden and meet such a development in the same way, with insults and ridicule.
"She's a DEI hire, right? She's a woman. She's coloured. Therefore, she's got to be good. And at least her brain doesn't literally freeze in mid-sentence," said ultra-conservative Sebastian Gorka, a former close associate of Trump's in the Office of the President, this week.
A platform in the shape of its leader
Republicans are entering this election race with a political platform that closely aligns with the vocabulary of Trump and his supporters. Solutions to problems are easy, simple, and fit into a post on social media.
Just as Trump posts messages on social media, many of them use capital letters on the platform (he will be able to return to Facebook and Instagram on Friday).
Passed in the run-up to the convention in Milwaukee, the document is brimming with swift and effective changes to US policy. The list is a compilation of Trump's slogans from campaign rallies and media interviews. The electorate will adopt these easily digestible, catchy, and simply irresistible slogans, fused with the former president's populism.
Few of the platform's 20 major topics regard America's position on the international stage
Aside from deporting "millions of undocumented immigrants" or "sealing the border," few of the platform's 20 major topics regard America's position on the international stage.
This deeply isolationist document certainly offers very simple solutions to major international crises:
"PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST." There is nothing easier for the Republican Party, which has completely adapted its programme to the ego of its leader and presidential candidate.
Back to bad experiences
However, both Europe and the Middle East have already experienced what Trump's populist promises—easy solutions and thus the ultimate isolationism that the US found itself in from 2016 to 2020, when he was president—look like in practice.
From Monday to Wednesday, the Republican Party will definitely embrace the image and political strategy of its leader
One of the worst effects of the Americans stepping back was Russia's aggression against Ukraine, which was launched because the Kremlin believed NATO was too weak in the Trump era to respond to this challenge.
There was a similar consequence in the Middle East, where the US withdrawal was a sure sign to Tehran and its proxies in the region that they could finally launch an aggressive action that continues to this day.
From Monday to Wednesday, the Republican Party will definitely embrace the image and political strategy of its leader. To confront the complicated circumstances at home and particularly globally, it will start with a list of populist slogans from rallies and on social media, not sophisticated strategies and policies, which it has been quite capable of in the past.
They will use jokes and insults (again without strategies and policies) to ensure their leader's victory in the presidential elections, where he has excellent prospects at the moment.
