What Trump would do in asecond term, according to his current and former advisors
-
The events of recent months have quashed any remaining notion that Donald Trump might abandon his quest for political pow- er after being turned out of office by voters two years ago. He is still holding his trademark rallies, sometimes complete with QAnon callouts, in principle to support Republican candidates but in practice holding on to center stage to hawk his own accomplishments and grievances.
The former president has had plenty of help in staying in the public eye. The House’s January 6 Committee recently voted to subpoena him to testify. The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, his home in Palm Beach, Florida, in search of classified documents he kept after leaving office. And multiple other legal woes have ensured that some news of each day features Trump. A Trump bid for the White House in 2024 is looking increasingly likely. Despite his legal troubles, he remains a strong favorite among Republicans, of whom only a quarter prefer that he sit the next one out, according to a September poll. A criminal charge against Trump would barely shake the devotion of his political base, the same poll says; judging by the reaction to the Mar-a Lago raid, it might even fire up his supporters all the more. Not even a conviction, complete with a prison sentence, need prevent him from running: Eugene V. Debs, a labor activist, ran for president in 1920 while serving a six-month sentence for his role in a railroad strike.
