In less than two months of retirement, former US President Donald Trump fired a “reopening of politics” flare. Through a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the largest annual event for the conservative camp. He clarified his willingness to take control of the Republican Party before the midterm elections in 2022 and the possibility of a re-challenge in the 2024 presidential election. In the process of promoting the impeachment of Congress, he did not hesitate to take a provocative move to foretell the retaliation of Republican lawmakers who’betrayed’. The expected move, but the US politics are in trouble.
Former President Trump spoke as a speaker at the last day of the annual CPAC held in Orlando, Florida on the 28th of last month (local time). It is the official event in 39 days after retirement on January 20th. He said at the beginning of his 1.5 hour speech, “I may make a third decision to defeat them (the Democrats).” He said he could run again following the 2016 and 2020 presidential challenges. Conservative Tendency Fox News interpreted it as “the door is open to Trump’s possibility to run in 2024.”
In addition, President Joe Biden’s border security policy, overturning his own policy through an executive order, and energy policy were strongly committed. They attacked that the response to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) and returning to school was poor. The claim that the last presidential election was a fraudulent election was also repeated. Participants responded to each of Trump’s comments, shouting slogans such as’I love you’ and’Four more years’.

Former President Trump also revealed his willingness to take over the Republican Party. He denied the possibility of establishing a new party and said, “We have a Republican Party. It will be more united and stronger than ever.” “I will stand on the side of the brave Republicans gathered here and fight the radical Democratic Party and the fake news media for the next four years.”
Republican lawmakers who had accumulated sediment due to impeachment of the House of Representatives twice were named one by one and also foretold retaliation. In fact, plans to fill the Republican Party with the SS were also put into action, including announcing support for Max Miller, a former White House staff member who ran for the 16 Ohio District, a district of Congressman Anthony Gonzalez in favor of impeachment.
The first step seems light. In an unofficial poll of CPAC attendees, who are enthusiastic Republican supporters, 68 percent wanted Trump to rerun, and 55 percent said their support in the 2024 Republican presidential race, the political media The Hill said. The approval rating of former President Trump for his inauguration also reached 97%. The New York Times in the US predicted that “Trump knows that the popularity of the Republican supporters for him is still there,” and that “it seems likely to combine conservative forces to prepare for the next presidential election.”
