Donald Trump is set to accept his presidential nomination, solidifying his control of the Republican Party.
Following an attempted assassination, support for Trump has intensified, with many of his followers viewing him as a figure protected by divine intervention.
Trump’s strong influence over the party places him in a more powerful position to execute his policies if he wins the upcoming election.
Critics fear he could pursue extreme measures such as mass deportations and aggressive trade policies, unchecked by internal party divisions or governmental constraints.

Despite concerns, many delegates and party members back Trump’s agenda, advocating for fewer bureaucratic obstacles and a stronger presidential authority.
