The sumptuous irony of Trump's contempt for RINOs is that a person might plausibly believe he is one: An energetic practitioner of reckless borrowing and spending that mainstream Republicans have opposed going back to at least Robert Taft; a criminal-hugging executive who backed the jailbreak First Step Act, which split Republicans but united Democrats (with Trump), all on the advice of that criminal law expert, Kim Kardashian; and a frequent and occasionally gushing fan of both Putin and Kim Jong Il, two of the most viciously anti-American dictators in the world -- dictators whose sometime appeasement by the Left was properly and robustly condemned by virtually every traditional Republican.

I would disagree on one point: Trump is a RINO. He has only his own bloated ego as his watchword and, you pointed out, if that doesn't fit with Republican interests he'll go the other way. I actually want to met the idiots that are still supporting this piece of dirt. They are RINOS too.
