Former President Donald Trump is attempting to turn the whole Republican Party into a "fief of MAGA" by stacking key positions throughout the party and public office with members of his own family — and there's no telling how far he'll take it, warned Michelle Cottle in a blistering column for The New York Times.

This comes after reports that he is pushing for his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to hold a senior position at the Republican National Committee, and was even trial ballooning the idea of his son-in-law Jared Kushner being appointed Secretary of State in a second term — although Kushner himself appears to be against the idea.
