Trump said he will be "reinstated" as US president by August
The former US president never accepted the November election defeat, arguing that Biden's victory was due to "election fraud".
Donald Trump allegedly told "a number of people" that he "by August" will return to the White House as US president. The New York Times reporter Maggie Habermas reported on Twitter.
"Trump has told a number of people he is in contact with that he expects to be reinstated by August," she tweeted.

In the tweet, the reporter shared a CNN report on Michael Flynn, Donald Trump's former national security adviser, who allegedly supported the idea of a military coup like that of Myanmar in the United States during an event in Dallas by supporters of the former president and followers of the Q-anon conspiracy theory.

These words sparked a heated media controversy across the country. The video went viral and many commentators pointed to documents that Q-Anon's followers would endorse the idea of a Myanmar-like coup in the United States to bring Trump back to the White House.
Flynn, however, quickly denied allegations of supporting a US coup, writing on Telegram that he had "never called for any such action," claiming he was misunderstood.
Flynn, the first of Trump's five national security advisers during his four-year term, shares the former president's belief that he won the 2020 presidential election.
The former US president has never accepted the results of the 2020 White House election, claiming that Joe Biden's victory is the result of what he and his supporters believe to be "massive election fraud." On January 6, when a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol to prevent the certification of election results, Trump was accused of inciting an uprising and indicted a second time by House Democrats. .
Later acquitted by the Senate, the former president was ousted from major social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook. Trump denied involvement in inciting the deadly uprising on the Capitol.
