She took her marching orders directly from him aside from pledging every cent to pay his bills like Lara is doing...and yet he still fires her and blames her for the cataclysmic mid-term failures.
I mean, that checks out for him, but its retarded.

No, bigger issue. GOP that talks about accountability turning around and spending donor money for Trump's self-inflicted legal wounds.
It's not even a grift at that point. It's just outright party capture. They're not operating as a political party anymore, just a tool to siphon people's money into Trump's pockets.

She was just a Trumpian yes-man, but this is populism 101
The paradox of how the fuhrer is both supreme and powerless at the same time.
Someone does exactly as Dear Leader orders, then shit blows up, but that's not the fault of Dear Leader but the underling who takes the fall, Dear Leader remains infallible.

Ronna MacDaniel has been chair of the RNC for several years now.
She is strongly pro-Trump.
Supports his 2024 presidential run.
Yet all this didn't save her from Trump's wrath, because while she is a Trump supporter he wanted her to be even more supportive.
Trump is pushing for North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley for Chair of the RNC.
Trump wants his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to be co-chair.
Lara wants the RNC to use its money to defend Trump.
The GOP is solidly becoming the Trump party. There is going to be a GOP and a GOP-T, with the former being a shadow.
Trump is pushing nepotism because he wants people who will be totally loyal and put his interests over that of the party and conservatism.
RNC is going to become Trump's piggybank.

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel will leave her post on March 8 as Trump moves to install new loyalists
NEW YORK (AP) — Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel will leave her post on March 8, having been forced out of the GOP’s national leadership as Donald Trump moves toward another presidential nomination and asserts control over the party.
McDaniel announced her decision in a statement on Monday morning.
“I have decided to step aside at our Spring Training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a Chair of their choosing,” McDaniel said in the statement. “The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition.”
The move was not a surprise. Trump earlier in the month announced his preference for North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley, a little-known veteran operative focused in recent years on the prospect of voter fraud, to replace McDaniel. Trump also picked his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to serve as committee co-chair.

Lara Trump says RNC needs to raise $500 million, sees interest in paying Trump legal fees
Lara Trump says she thinks GOP voters would like to see RNC pay Donald Trump’s legal fees

Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law said she thought the idea would get broad support among GOP voters who see his legal cases as political persecution.

Liberals and Democrats must be pretty happy with this development because it could very well be the erosion of the GOP.

Pretty soon, Trump will have some poor Republican shmoes carry him from the car to the stage, like DJ Khalid. lmao!
Or, he'll have Alina Habba walk in front of him with a basket of red, white, and blue rose petals for him to walk on everywhere he goes.

Seems scapegoating to pin the blame on her. GOP lost a lot of votes with the Supreme Court abortion ruling. And Trump turns off a lot of moderates.

Again, she stepped down and historically the RNC has always stepped down after a nominee is selected.
Why in the world would Trump go out of his way to stop a historic norm to ask someone who was unsuccessful at her job and who has a republican uncle (Mitt Romney) who has openly disliked and said he would not vote for Trump over Biden?
Also Trump leads the polls by quite a large margin if they are to be believed. The republican party has lost Senate/House/governor seats. The only thing that they seem to have going for them is in fact, Trump.

He wouldn't be going out of his way. Infact pushing for his guy in S.Carolina would take more effort, than just keeping the current Chair in place. He supported her against Dhillion in 2023. He could have asked her to stay on but he wants her out.

And the plan to send a whole chunk of the committees money to the Trump Defense rather than spending and resourcing competitive races is sure to help change that.

Again, stepping down is customary for the RNC and DNC chairs after the candidate is selected. Did Obama betray Tim Kaine when Tim Kaine stepped down as chair of the DNC after his first election? In fact, that would be worse because then they put in Donna Brazile who was shown rigging the primaries for Hillary Clinton after Obama's term was up.

It's simply a weird thing to be critical about. "Thing that has always happened in both the DNC and RNC continues to happen, but TRUMP this time."

Trump supported MacDaniels though, just a year ago.
The reason why she is stepping down is pertinent, i.e. Trump wants Whatley in as Chair. She is clearly stepping down because he doesn't want her.

She said she's stepping down because that's what historically all chairs of both the RNC and DNC do.
From your OP:
I don't see why we shouldn't believe her, given the fact that it's completely normal in both the DNC and RNC for this to happen. Also Trump might prefer someone else, that's his right to do so. Given the fact that the GOP have lost house, senate and governor seats under her leadership, I don't see why he wouldn't prefer someone else. Also her famous republican uncle has said he would not vote for Trump over Biden; that only adds to the reasons why Trump would prefer someone else. Nothing in this story is abnormal or illogical.
