Before leaving office in January, the current US president is seriously considering life outside the White House that what Trump will do telling advisers that he wants to remain a major force in politics and the media – and possibly run for the White House again in 2024. Want to run for House. Washington Post writes about it.
Trump has told confidantes that he could announce his 2024 campaign before the end of the year, setting up a potential rematch against President-elect Joe Biden immediately.
Trump is also looking for ways to make extra money, such as speaking to corporate groups or selling rally tickets. In addition, he may write a memoir about his time as President and appear on pay and non-pay TV.
While there has also been serious talk among Trump allies about starting his own media company, many people close to the president said they see that option as unlikely, in part because it would be a difficult undertaking with no guarantee of success.
Trump is also under pressure to cash in on post-presidency ventures because of his personal debt and legal troubles. “Trump will also try to remain a political and media powerhouse,” said Christopher Ruddy, a longtime friend of the president.
Whichever platform he chooses to use, Trump plans to compete with a media conglomerate that also includes longtime backer Fox News. Trump is said to have privately rebuked the presidential debate, which was moderated by Fox’s Chris Wallace. And that network was the first major news network to claim that Biden won Arizona.
Aides said that after Biden’s inauguration, Trump will likely visit Florida first, where he will spend his winter vacation at the Mar-a-Lago club. During his tenure, he changed his registration from New York to Palm Beach, Florida. People who have discussed the plans with Trump said he is likely to jump right into his business, which has been losing revenue.
Trump’s daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner and other older children have focused more on their futures than the president’s, even though their careers and personal brands are inextricably linked to his.
An adviser who recently spoke to the president said Trump plans to announce a new campaign in three weeks and wants to move quickly to try to fend off several potential Republican presidential nominees in 2024. The team includes at least three people who have served in the administration : Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley.
But other advisers cautioned that Trump’s views on the issue are constantly changing and that he has not yet made up his mind.
Regardless of whether he actually runs for president again or not, Trump may try to dominate Republican politics for years to come. In the past, when presidents left office, their parties held open elections for leadership positions. But Trump recently tweeted that he is endorsing his ally Rona McDaniel, who is serving another term as chair of the Republican National Committee.
A senior Trump campaign official said: “I think if he is not declared the winner, it will signal that he will run again in 2024.” “He will remain the head of the Republican Party, whether that’s an official title or not.”

A senior administration official said Trump can’t definitively say he’s running for president, even in the already open 2024 election cycle, “and you have all these possibilities in 2024. “Go see the candidates, not knowing what to do”.
Aides expect Trump to want to hold rallies later in his presidency, noting that speaking at rallies has been his favorite part of his presidency.
“If you can take 30 people and charge them $100,000, that’s real money,” said one Republican close to the White House.
Trump’s hold on Republican voters is likely to remain strong.
“His Twitter feed is one of the most powerful tools he has and he can take that with him,” said Brandon Buck, a Republican strategist and former senior Capitol aide who has criticized Trump.
“Let’s not pretend that his influence in the party is based on his leadership or political views,” Buck said. “It was his ability to use his voice very loudly and draw attention to himself, and that’s not going to change.”
