Former President Donald Trump is gearing up to compete in yet another election. While he has not been made the official candidate for the Republican party, the common consensus is that Trump has a strong chance of being the face of the party. Having come up short in his second campaign, the 76-year-old believes that the Biden administration has done a horrible job of leading the country and that he can make America great again. Needless to say, with Trump involved the build-up to any election will be entertaining, to say the least.
Major Announcement
Earlier this week, Trump teased that he would be making a major announcement in a few days on his new social media platform of choice, Truth Social . This had netizens guessing as to what the major announcement could be. While some predicted a rally tour, others predicted a withdrawal from the Presidential race. In the end, it was neither, and none of the guesses came close to what Trump had in store for everyone.

Trouble In Paradise
Ever since losing the election, it has been one problem after another for Trump. Be it the FBI raid at his Mar-a-Lago residence or the financial misappropriation at his company. Given all the troubles that have popped up over the past few months, Trump’s run for another term as the President of the country looks unlikely. However, if history has taught us anything, it is that Trump can not be counted out till the very final moment.
