The article contains several examples of logical fallacies. The author commits the appeal to authority fallacy by stating that Trump's endorsed candidates were elected without any challengers and that they are qualified for their positions based on their relationship with Trump. This is not sufficient evidence to support this claim, as there may have been other factors at play in their election. Additionally, the author commits the inflammatory rhetoric fallacy by stating that McDaniel's decision to step down was
The appeal to authority fallacy is committed when an argument relies on a source of authority without providing any evidence or reasoning behind it. In this case, the author claims that Trump's endorsed candidates were elected based solely on their relationship with him, which is not sufficient evidence to support this claim.
Inflammatory rhetoric fallacy occurs when an argument relies on emotional appeals rather than logical reasoning. The author uses inflammatory language such as 'bittersweet' and 'harbored resentment' to describe the relationship between Trump and McDaniel, which is not supported by any evidence or logic.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the idea that Trump has taken over the Republican Party by installing key allies as RNC chair and co-chair when in reality he simply recommended them for these positions. Secondly, it implies that this takeover of the party is normal during a presidential election cycle but fails to mention that other presidents have not done so before. Thirdly, it presents Trump's legal bills as an issue but does not provide any context or information about how much money he owes and whether the RNC will be able to pay them. Finally, the article quotes sources who are biased towards Trump without disclosing their affiliations.
The article presents Trump's legal bills as an issue without providing any context or information about how much money he owes. For example, it states that 'Trump faces four major criminal trials and a total of 91 indictments, as well as a $355 million civil fraud judgment which Trump’s appealing.' This implies that the RNC will be forced to pay these bills but does not provide any information about how much money they owe or whether they can afford it.

The article presents Trump's takeover of the Republican Party as a fact when in reality it is simply his recommendation for key allies to serve as RNC chair and co-chair. For example, it states that 'Trump picked North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley to succeed McDaniel.' This implies that he has taken over the party but does not provide any context or information about how this happened.
The article quotes sources who are biased towards Trump without disclosing their affiliations. For example, it states that 'Ronna McDaniel, whom Trump picked to steer the national party committee after he won the White House in 2016' is stepping down at the meeting. This implies that she was removed from her position due to lackluster fundraising but does not provide any context or information about why she was removed.

The article contains several examples of logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the former president is the presumptive nominee and this is the party of Trump without providing any evidence or reasoning for this claim. Additionally, there are multiple instances where inflammatory rhetoric is used to describe opponents such as Nikki Haley being a 'last rival' and Lara Trump focusing on fundraising for the committee.
