Frida Ghitis: In 2000 , George W. Bush became the standard description of what Americans look for in a president.
She says it became an article of faith that unless a president was able to present himself as a down-home guy, he didn't have a chance.
Ghitis says Sarah Palin was the personification of the Republican ideal, but her moment in the spotlight had a major influence on the Republican Party .
The GOP base actually loves Trump for his imperial ways, which he's making more and more obvious in this second term.
He's decked out the Oval Office to look like the Las Vegas version of the palace of Versailles .
Trump is running his presidency as if he were a monarch who answers to no one.
