The 76-year-old former president, hotelier and reality TV host is believed to be defying increasingly strong voices within the Republican Party trying to persuade him not to run again.
But his close adviser, Jason Miller, is confident of his cause on Monday:
— President Trump will announce on Tuesday (Wednesday morning Swedish time) that he is running for president.
“Professional Speech”
Miller says Trump will deliver a statesmanlike, accurate and “very professional” speech from his Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida home.
Many within his own party have tried to get him to at least postpone an announcement after the mid-term elections in the United States that were supposed to be a Republican victory – but ended with the party not even getting a majority in the Senate.
Even Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence publicly airs his disapproval. Pence, on the other hand, also wants to be president.
Neither do the congressional hearings about the storming of the Capitol in January 2021 and his impact then seem to worry Trump.
Trump in and of himself is known for quick and erratic throws both in terms of thought and decision.
But uncertainty does not rule Trump’s high thoughts about Trump, or as he himself says about the speech he is expected to give:
— It is perhaps the most important speech in the history of the United States.
