What is Donald Trump doing now
On May 25, an Ipsos poll revealed that 53% of Americans believe Donald Trump "the real president" of America. "I always knew that America was smart," was the hot comment of the tycoon, on his official website.
In the "news" section of there is a long list of updates that all bear the same wording: "Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th president of the United States of America".
Opening them, it turns out that Trump's makeshift, after being kicked out of Twitter and Facebook indefinitely, is in fact a sort of personal blog in which the former president continues to comment on current events with his usual vehemence. Except that, for a few months now, no one has noticed it anymore.
Media coverage of him, of course, collapsed after his term ended - except to update the situation on his judicial woes. Yet, as far as is known, Donald Trump remains the leading politician of the conservative right in America. But what did he do?
Donald Trump, what are you doing now
"A common theory for Trump's demise is that his being banned from Twitter (and other social media sites) effectively eliminated his ability to reach a large audience," says Atlantic magazine, wondering about the whereabouts of Trump. former president, “with the Twitter account at hand, Trump could blow up any thought or diatribe that was on the top of his mind to millions of followers; the press would have dutifully reported on the latest outrage and the speech around it ". And in a way, "Trump's eclipse appears to have started around January 8, when Twitter announced its ban," writes Atlantic, arguing that Trump "clearly lacks the feeling of tweeting and getting a immediate response ".
According to some friends who have revealed his new routine, Trump would spend his days in his new residence in Mar-a-Lago drinking cola light and making rounds of phone calls to complain about how "he was treated unfairly" and " overzealous prosecutors ”.
On May 19, the New York State judiciary announced that the Trump Organization, which controls the properties of the former president's family, is under criminal investigation. The new crime hypotheses have not yet been disclosed, but civil investigations had been launched for tax evasion, insurance and banking fraud.
Aside from the phone calls, it's unclear what exactly Trump is doing, the Guardian wrote last April. "He was seen wandering around a car show on March 21, hosted at the resort," for example. Or, again in March, "he appeared for a fundraiser for Big Dog Ranch Rescue, a charity linked to Lara Trump."
Sometimes fellow party members still visit him, such as the delegation of Republicans from Alabama who on March 13 gave him a frame in which The Donald was defined as "one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245 years of this republic. ".
