U.S. President Donald Trump is about to leave office and is expected to leave Washington on Wednesday (20) to return to his Sea Lake estate in Florida, while his future path in politics is still under scrutiny. U.S. media “Wall Street Journal” on Tuesday (19) cited sources that Trump had discussed with close friends, after leaving the White House to set up a new political party to continue to exert its political influence.
The source said that Trump had talked to a number of aides and people close to him last week about the issue and wanted the new party to be named the Patriot Party, but did not disclose more details. The report pointed out that the establishment of a new political party requires a lot of investment of time and resources, it is not clear how serious Trump is about the establishment of a new political party. The White House has not yet responded to the report.
The report also pointed out that Trump has attracted a lot of blame from the top of the Republican Party because of the incident in Congress, but polls show that he still maintains strong support among the general Republican Party members, and many supporters previously in the Republican Party’s political participation is not high. Republican and Democratic parties other than the third party, often because of the failure to attract sufficient support, it is difficult to play an important role in the general election; and the establishment of a new political party will also face Republican opposition, that will weaken the party to gain support.
