Donald Trump Again A Candidate? He Thinks About It “very Seriously”

What if Donald Trump had not, in the end, said goodbye to the White House? Retired with his wife Melania in Florida, the former US head of state could well try to run for a second term in Washington, after his loss last November to his rival, Joe Biden. His departure from the Oval Office, with loss and noise, had sparked a brutal uprising on Capitol Hill, leading to the deaths of five people and a night of violent riots.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday, April 19, Donald Trump hinted that he was planning to run again in 2024, against the current president, Joe Biden. “I’m thinking about it very seriously, but from a legal point of view, I don’t want to talk about it now, it’s too early”, said the real estate mogul, while criticizing the policy of his successor in matters of immigration, control of weapons in circulation or taxation.

Suspicions of tax and electoral fraud

Since his electoral failure, this is the first time that Donald Trump has given an interview in person on television. Last February, the former president gave an interview to the very conservative American channel by telephone, on the occasion of the death of Rush Limbaugh, famous radio host. After his acquittal in the Senate, for his alleged role in the Capitol riots, Donald Trump then reaffirmed his “victory” in the presidential election. “I think we won, a lot of people think so too,” he said.

Currently, Donald Trump is facing several legal and financial cases, due to various ongoing investigations targeting him, related to suspicions of tax evasion within his Trump Organization or electoral pressure in Georgia. The 45e US president is suspected of having tried to influence an official of the State of Georgia to try to garner nearly 12,000 additional votes, in order to tip the ballot in favor of the Republicans.
