Donald Trump spends long, gloomy days in the Oval Office watching television news about himself.
When the battle is over, he will announce that he will run for the 2024 election.
This is how the New York Times describes the president’s last days in the White House.
Donald Trump held a press conference on Thursday of last week. Since then, he has only been seen in public this weekend when he was a couple of rounds of golf and, earlier this week, when he attended a ceremony at Arlington Cemetery to honor dead war veterans.
Kaitlan Collins, who covers the White House for CNN, wrote on Twitter that the president had unusually long days in the Oval Office this week. He usually retires to the apartment around 6.30pm for dinner and making phone calls. But now he has stayed until 20.
According to Maggie Haberman, who is considered the most transparent reporter of all after following Trump for the New York Times since he announced his candidacy in the 2015 election, it is not ordinary presidential duties that occupy her time.

Watching sadly on tv
In an article, he writes that he spends a lot of time watching television news about his last time as president. He also gets very caught up in online conspiracy theories about how widespread voter fraud ruined his victory.
Donald Trump has often been perceived as gloomy during his days in the White House, according to advisers to the New York Times, but he has not raised his voice or acted angry. Although what you write on Twitter, often in capital letters, can give the impression otherwise.
According to interviews with half a dozen advisers and others close to the president, there is no real strategy to change the outcome. It is said that he only sees him from one short interval of time to another and sees how far he can pull the charges and retain the support of his Republican base.
“He knows it’s over,” an adviser told the New York Times.
According to the newspaper, several advisers have openly told the president that, in principle, there is no possibility of changing the outcome of the elections.
But by dominating news coverage himself during his last time in the White House, the president hopes to keep his millions of supporters engaged with what will happen next.

Consider setting 2024
Donald Trump will also seriously consider running in the 2024 presidential election. In conversations with his advisers, he has said that he is considering announcing that he will run again when Joe Biden formally wins.
His campaign has also started a fundraising fund with the stated goal of raising funds for the legal processes necessary to contest the election. But the fine print says that 60 percent of the contributions raised go into a fund that you can use after the election for expenses like campaign meetings, travel, staffing, etc.
But the fact that you say publicly that you intend to run in the 2024 election is no guarantee that you actually will. Report to both the New York Times and CNN. It can be a way to keep fan enthusiasm alive and it would guarantee lucrative book and speaker contracts.
