Former US President, billionaire Donald Trump, said tonight that he will run for the Republican party primaries for the US presidency.

“America’s comeback begins now. We’re here to declare that it doesn’t have to be like that. We were a great nation two years ago. We’ll be a great nation again soon,” he said at an event. In the resort town of Mar-a-Lago. .

In his speech, Trump said that he left the government at a time when “the world was at peace and America was prosperous”, adding that the past two years in Joe Biden’s government have been “a period of pain, anxiety and despair”. By the time the Republican left the presidency, the United States was already the country with the highest official death toll from Covid-19.

Referring directly to the increase in the number of immigrants in the country, he said, “The southern borders have been erased and our country has been occupied by millions, millions of unknown people. We will pay the price for this occupation for years.”

The former president also said the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have happened if he was still president, recalling the possibly Russian missile that hit Poland this afternoon and killed two people.

Trump’s announcement comes shortly after the country’s midterm legislative elections, in which a number of Republican candidates in states like Arizona and Nevada were unexpectedly rejected.

Trump’s desire to be reelected may be evidence of tensions within the Republican party.

According to the American media, some members of the conservative legend fear that his presence in the presidential race will harm the 2024 election project, as Trump rejects the legitimate result of the polls after losing to the Democratic Party’s Joe Biden. .

Mike Pence, Trump’s former vice president, is also among those who support his Republican criticism.

When asked by ABC News if he believed the billionaire would become president again, Pence, the potential primary candidate for 2024, said he “thought we’d have better options in the future.”
