Unwavering adherence, carte blanche, and family business. Those are the three pillars on which the Republican Convention is based, which began this Monday in the city of Charlotte, in North Carolina, where members of the party voted the tycoon as their candidate for reelection .

The unwavering adherence and carte blanche come from the fact that the Convention has not approved what in the United States is called "the platform", which is the program of the party, but not of the candidate, although that discrepancy has historically been annulled by the fact that it was understood that the candidate for the presidency - in this case, for reelection - assumed those party principles as his own .

This is not the case in 2020. The Republican National Committee, which is the organization that coordinates the party, has limited itself to issuing a statement in which it states that "the Republican Party has supported and enthusiastically supports the 'America first 'and enthusiastically supports President Trump . " And that's where the 2020 platform ends. In reality, the party's program is that of 2016, since an annex is added in the same document in which that text is included in its entirety.

The Republican proclamation not only makes clear the absolute control of that party by Donald Trump, but also that a program is not necessary to win the 2020 elections. The president himself had already demonstrated this on June 25, when , in an interview with his journalist, Sean Hannity, of the television network Fox News, was questioned about "what will be his priorities for his second term." What followed was 41 seconds in which Donald Trump explained, "I had never slept in Washington" before winning the election. "I have very good people in the government," he says, and " I've made some mistakes, like giving a job to the idiot John Bolton, " his third former National Security adviser.

So aside from John Bolton's possible declaration of imbecility, the president's schedule for the four years beginning on January 20 remains a mystery. Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to the cut in pensions in his second term , which would harm a part of his electoral base, which is made up of people older and less educated than that of his rival, Joe Biden, but he has never gone into details. In 2005, after his re-election, George W. Bush made privatization of the US pension system a top priority, but his own Republican co-religionists in Congress saw to it that that proposal went nowhere. By 2020, Donald Trump, true to his tradition, has not articulated any plans for what kind of pension cuts he would carry out .

Thus, the Convention, rather than "Republican", should be called "Trump's . " The president will speak for four days before the delegates, and, in fact, he already started today with a long tirade in which he affirmed that the Democratic opposition wants to commit electoral fraud of historic dimensions. Of course, it's not just the "Trump" Convention. So is "of the Trumps." Because this is already a family (political) company. Other prime-time speakers will be his sons Don junior , Eric - who was summoned to testify in a New York court today for alleged illegal financing of his father's companies - and his daughters Ivanka, who is a senior advisor at the White House, and Lara. Also taking part will be Don's girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Eric's wife, Lara, as well as, obviously, the first lady, Melania Trump.

Other relevant speakers at the Convention will be the president of the Ultimate Fight Championship (UFC) wrestling organization, Dana White, telepreacher Franklin Graham, and Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who stood with two semi-automatic weapons in the garden of their St. Louis home in front of a peaceful demonstration that was passing by.
