What will become of Donald Trump? After his defeat in the presidential elections on the last November 3rd, the 45th president of the United States must return the keys of the White House. New candidacy for 2024? Back to business? Court cases first? One thing is certain, “The Donald” will not be bored for years to come.
“He doesn’t like losing”
After 4 years in the White House, the former president of the United States might consider a return to politics for 2024. That’s what said his former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney. According to him, Donald Trump could remain in the American political landscape in the years to come: “I would absolutely expect the president to stay involved in politics. I would absolutely put him on the shortlist of people who are likely to run in 2024” said Trump’s former chief staff”.
With 70 million votes in favor, nothing prevents the outgoing president from attempting a return to politics. In the history of the United States, only Grover Cleveland made a comeback by being elected again in 1884.
Back to television?
Donald Trump might also consider a “comeback in business”. Hotel-developer, TV show owner, the business made a name for himself until he became a celebrity. Co-producer and presenter of the TV show “The apprentice” from 2004 to 2015 in which he judged the business skills of a group of participants. Donald Trump has always mentioned his desire to reappear in front of the cameras. “I had a nice life. I had the greatest life”, he said during one of his campaign rallies in Michigan. The former president has also shared his idea to create a Trump TV brand to find an alternative to Fox News, which he doesn’t find enough “right-wing”. One thing is certain, his passion for the show could bring him back into the spotlight.
A compulsory passage to court cases?
Another much less brilliant possibility for Mr.Trump, a return to serious court cases. As a normal citizen, he can no longer be protected from possible indictments. Targeted by several investigations in New York concerning possible tax fraud, accounting manipulations, and also sexual assault allegations. Donald Trump will have to solve his problems with the law before enjoying a possible retirement.
The former president of the United States didn’t hide his desire to step away by mentioning that he wanted to take the road with his wife Melania.
In June, during one of his campaign rally in Pennsylvania, he also said by admiring trucks:
“Nice trucks. You think I could hop into one of them and drive it away. I’d love to do it, just drive the hell out of here. Just get the hell out of this”.
