(OPINION) ETH – It appears that Donald Trump’s next move may be in the creation of his own political party called the “Patriot Party”. According to aides and confidants who revealed the info to the Wallstreet Journal,
Trump’s endeavor may have stemmed from him feeling abandoned by the republican party that he feels turned its back on him and favored his impeachment. According to TheBlaze, “Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week,” the outlet reported.
“The president said he would want to call the new party the ‘Patriot Party,’ the people said.” Note everyone is excited about the idea, in fact, even “top pro-Trump Republicans” close to the administration said that it was a “bad idea” and would effectively split the Republican Party so that it would be nearly impossible for Republicans or otherwise to defeat the Democratic Party in elections.
Perhaps this is what Trump was referring to today in his farewell address when he stated that his movement is “only just beginning.” “As I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning,” he said.
“There’s never been anything like it. The belief that a nation must serve its citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day. As long as the American people hold in their hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing this nation cannot achieve.”
