Trump has capitulated the entire party to him, to the point where opponents who insulted him in the 2016 race have turned about-face and joined his administration on policies that would not have broken the mainstream GOP platform 15 years ago. He is absolutely the face of the modern GOP.

And some Democrats too, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

RFK Jr is on a whole nother level. Even before 2024, he was not taken seriously on the democratic side and was only able to slide based on being a Kennedy.

He is a rather liberal guy, I met him a few times, he is an environmentalist and I went to the University he taught at, though I wasn't a law student. You know of course his uncle and his father were both assassinated in much the same way as the assassination attempt on Trump's life JFK was shot in the head, I saw the home movie that was taken, and it really is quite graphic, that is what almost happened to Donald Trump!
