United States: Donald Trump soon to be at the head of a “Patriot Party”?

Donald Trump is leaving the White House and could also return his Republican Party membership card. The outgoing president, who cedes power Wednesday, January 20, 2021 to Democrat Joe Biden, has indeed discussed with some of his advisers and assistants about the advisability of forming a new political party, according to information from the Wall Street Journal.

This new formation, which could be called the “Patriotic Party”, would allow the billionaire to continue to exercise influence and occupy the media landscape for the next four years. This political design also highlights the disenchantment that seems to reign between Donald Trump and the Grand Old Party (GOP). In recent days, the former president has notably argued with a plethora of GOP leaders, including Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. The latter recently said that Donald Trump deserves to be blamed for causing the deadly riot on January 6 on Capitol Hill in Washington.

A serious step?

How serious is the process, which would require a significant investment of time and resources from Donald Trump? Nobody knows. The only certainty: polls show that the real estate mogul still has a lot of support among the GOP’s core voters. So far, all those who have tried to found a political party have failed to play a major role in national elections. The brave have indeed been swept away by the Democratic and Republican steamrollers.
