The former US president has promised a “new baby boom” in these new cities, facilitated by bonuses given to parents for each birth.
A very personal vision of the future. Officially a candidate for several months in the US presidential election in 2024, Donald Trump, former President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, sketched out a semblance of a program in a video posted on his social network, Social Truth. According to him, it is necessary to create “a new American future” in a country which has “lost its audacity.”
“Quantum Leap”
For Donald Trump, this future depends on the creation of 10 futuristic “freedom cities” implanted out of nothing on remote federal lands. These new cities, he said, will “ignite the American imagination and give hundreds of thousands of young people and others” a chance to experience the “American dream.”
“Our goal will be a quantum leap in American living standards,” he said. “That’s what will happen.”
In this same video, Donald Trump announced that he wanted to set up competitions for the best ideas for these cities. For his part, he said he hoped to find there “imposing monuments to our true American heroes”, but also the possibility for residents to travel via “vehicles with vertical take-off and landing”.
“Just as the United States led the automotive revolution in the last century, I want to make sure America, not China, leads this air mobility revolution,” he warned.
These new cities must also benefit from a “new baby boom” that Donald Trump wants to facilitate by asking “Congress to support baby bonuses for young parents.”
The publication of this video comes on the eve of the start of the Conservative Political Action Conference, during which he is to speak, but also at a time when Joe Biden is casting doubt on a new candidacy.
