WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 06: U.S. President Donald Trump hosts a roundtable discussion with small business owners and members of his administration in the Roosevelt Room at the White House December 06, 2019 in Washington, DC. Trump listed what he considers his administrations many economic accomplishments, including deregulation of environmental laws and the Labor Department's monthly jobs report, announcing that the U.S. added 266,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5%.

Donald Trump often seems to be at the centre of political controversy in America, with his outrageous statements, misogynistic ideals, and unpredictable behaviour he craves the limelight of the media. 

Trumps addiction to wealth and authority resonates within his business empire of real estate, casinos there’s no doubt that Trump in the early 2000s invested in the right companies to help him make his millions. Yet over the years trumps business’ have not been preforming quite like they used to, subsequently in the last 2 years alone Trump has witnessed a loss of $900 million to his empire, with the demand for new, unique, bigger and better on the market Trump’s business days seem to be drawing to a close. 

Trumps greed has always been the driving force for his determination to outshine his competitors, and nothing quite screams success and power like being the President of the United States of America and it seems he’s not going to let a second term in office pass him by without a fight. Trump announced his 2024 presidential election bid at Mar-a-Lago with a testament to nostalgia surrounded by allies and conservative influences. 

But does Trump have the same support from his republican voters as he did in his first election? It seems that since Biden has occupied the desk of the oval office the fiery businessman has gone done in estimations, largely due to how he performed while in office. Including how he dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic and his rocky relations with other world leaders, many have finally come to their senses that he at times put the country’s political and economic state in danger. In a recent poll it was discovered that over 60% of Americans think that Donald Trump running for president is a bad thing, with over half of the American public displaying their resent for Trump to re-enter office the 76-year-old part time politician, part time business mogul has clearly lost his effect on the public. 

Yet political and behavioural analysists have warned to not underestimate the power Trump has and how well equipped he is to convince republicans to fall back in love with the ideals of ‘Making America Great Again’. There is no doubt that Trump has the monetary aid to set his electoral rally’s back into motion with the help from his deep pocketed donors. Paired with increasing fears that falsified promises will have republicans crawling back into the deceitful arms of Donald Trump, it’s a worrying possibility.

Trump has made previous bold comments in favour of the American public such as statements claiming if he were still President, he would be able to convince Putin to stop the War on Ukraine, which is having significant effect around the world. Once again attempting to win supporters over with his ambitious claims and businessmen sales tactics. 

Trump is the wealthiest president in history and with wealthy connections and substantial power there is always a possibility that Trump could once again snatch a win from the democrats. With recent political shocks such as Roe vs Wade being overturned it would be naïve to strictly rule out Trump’s electoral as a failure before it has taken off, only time will tell whether Trump will darken the door of the White House once again.
