The ex-tenant of the White House now fully holds his party, where he has cleaned up.
“There is no doubt that he has the desire to go there.” Donald Trump has been campaigning for almost a year. He had even considered holding a meeting on the day of the inauguration of his successor on January 20, 2021, before giving up, but he has since multiplied his trips across the United States.
And even thought of declaring himself a candidate now for the 2024 presidential election. For Thomas Snégaroff, he will probably wait for the results of the “mid terms”, the November by-elections to Congress, announced as “calamitous for the Democratic Party” and who could, if the Republicans succeed, further strengthen his power over the party.
“For now, his job is to maintain a media presence, a nuisance job. He is cutting off the funding of the few Republicans who voted for his impeachment last year, to show that the party is his and that anyone who getting in his way will be eliminated.A sign of his desire for revenge and to represent himself, analyzes the historian. What is certain is that he raises a lot of money for the campaign. With a Republican Party that has truly come its own ideologically and structurally, the planets are pretty much aligned for him.”
Legal threats
However, the New Yorker exiled in Florida will have to overcome a certain number of pitfalls, in particular legal ones. Last week, the Supreme Court demanded that he turn over 700 potentially incriminating pages of White House archives to a House of Representatives inquiry.
At the same time, the State of New York is continuing its investigations into suspicions of tax fraud concerning its empire, the Trump Organization, and Georgia is doing the same regarding the pressure it would have exerted on the governor to stop the counting. votes in this state, which had swung in favor of Biden in 2020. According to a document published by the magazine Politico, he would also have planned “to seize the voting machines and therefore to stop the electoral process”, said Thomas Snégaroff, on an order given to the Secretary of Defense.
Under these conditions, he believes, “it’s too early to draw plans on the comet even if the Americans started taking polls the day after Biden’s election”.
