Oh, I don't think they can тАУ not in any big-picture sense of getting him to behave like a civilized human being or sane, constructive politician.
What I mean is that they're constantly maneuvering and placating him to keep him from destroying the Republican party. That's the threat: If Trump decides the GOP has crossed him, he'll turn third-party, wrecking the Republicans' chances in 2024 and maybe beyond. So the RNC is basically his hostage. Privately, the RNC most likely desperately wishes he were gone, but they have to stay on his good side. That's what I meant by "managing."
The RNC has never been able to "manage" Trump in the past. Why would you imagine they could do it now?
