Earlier today, I got pointed to some information that suggests, while President Trump hijacked the GOP in 2016, Trump appears to have been the engine that gave the GOP what they've wanted since the 1930s. Domination through Wall Street and firearms makers.
Seems that after FDR was first elected in 1932 and took office in 1933, the GOP attempted a coup through Wall Street companies and the military, which included Remington Arms, but Maj. Gen Smedley Butler blew the whistle on that.

Among those he named as part of the plot were Prescott Bush, the father of one future president and the grandfather of another, Al Smith, the 1928 Democratic nominee who now has a dinner in his honor, DuPont, and even the company that built the Hoover Dam near Las Vegas.
And there are numerous others Maj. Gen. Butler named as being involved in the coup, which thankfully, never came off. But what that info I got pointed to shows that what the GOP has been up to is something they've been planning since the Depression, and now have it through Trump.
