President Donald Trump (Trump) said in a farewell speech of about 20 minutes on 19 that the movement he started was just beginning when he handed over power. But not a word was mentioned about Biden. Foreign media said that Trump is ready to set up a third party.
The Wall Street Journal reported on the 19th, citing people familiar with the matter, that President Trump has been discussing with his subordinates in recent days the formation of a new political party that could continue to exert influence after he leaves the White House.
The sources said President Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week. The president said he wants to call the new party the “Patriot Party. The White House, however, declined to comment.
The report said it is unclear how serious Trump is about starting a new party, which would require a significant investment of Time and resources.
Polls show that Trump has maintained strong support among Republican voters. Trump has a large number of supporters, some of whom were not deeply involved in Republican party politics prior to Trump’s 2016 campaign.

U.S. media revealed that the day Trump mooted the formation of a third party, he gave an early farewell speech of about 20 minutes, counting his top accomplishments in office, including uniting the world against the Chinese Communist Party, working to normalize relations in the Middle East, and correcting past policies and priding himself on being the first U.S. president in decades to not start a new war.
Trump also said he would pray for the success of the new U.S. administration and for the security and prosperity of the United States. But there was no mention of Biden, who will be inaugurated on the 20th. And Trump previously repeatedly stressed that he won the election, but was stolen election.
In his farewell speech, Trump also expressed optimism that he had built a strong political movement. “As I prepare to hand over power to the new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is just beginning.”
Outsiders believe that Trump’s above remarks imply that he still wants to continue to jockey for position in the political raw cliff thereafter. In addition to rumors that he is discussing the formation of a third party, he previously revealed that he may form his own media platform to speak out freely and break the media blackout on his speech.
In addition, some of the lawsuits he filed during the election are still pending and it is unknown how they will end up.
On January 6, after the congressional shock event, Trump had issued a statement on the 7th saying, “This is just the beginning of our struggle to make America great again!” On the 8th, Trump told his supporters that our wonderful journey has just begun.
On January 19, Trump said again, “Our campaign has just begun. It seems that the real big show is on and we are waiting to see what happens.
It is worth mentioning that Trump emphasized America several times in his speech and did not mention the election fraud and Biden.

Razor wire has been erected around the Capitol and Supreme Court, large sections of the capital are closed to traffic, and many metro stations downtown have been completely shut down.
There are also fences with spiraling barbed wire, barricades, security checkpoints, and some 25,000 heavily armed National Guard soldiers standing by, with concrete barricades erected in the streets around the Capitol and military vehicles straddling the roads to keep a lookout.
Commentator Li Jun posted that Biden’s inauguration ceremony, the mobilization of a large number of military personnel stationed in the capital, blocking the streets, like a great enemy. In the 245 years since the United States was founded, there has never been a presidential inauguration that was so alarming and so fraught. The total number of troops in the capital is now 25,000, more than the total number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. And Trump’s presidency continues to withdraw troops from both countries, the U.S. military presence is now down to 2,500 each.
