Former President Donald Trump opened a new “Office of the Former President” to announce and conduct his future plans from his new base in Florida, as he remains barred from accessing most social networks.
On Monday, several journalists received the office’s first letter, which pledged to continue the work of the Trump administration.
“Today, the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, formally opened the Office of the Former President,” said the statement.
“The office will be responsible for managing President Trump’s official correspondence, public statements, appearances and activities to promote the interests of the United States and to move the Trump administration’s agenda forward through defense, organization and public activism.”
The new office logo, which you can see in the tweet below, also appears to be a black and white copy of the logo of the Executive Office of the President of the United States.

Trump left Washington, DC, for his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach on the morning of January 20, hours before President Joe Biden took office.
In preparation for the match, a series of reports detailed how Trump was reflecting on a series of career changes to follow in his civilian life.
Trump would be considering reviving his TV career, building a $ 2 billion presidential library, launching a TV or social media network, or running for president again in 2024.
Since becoming a former president, Trump has kept a low profile, making no public appearance or statement.
On January 22, he told the Washington Examiner, “We will do something, but not yet.”
His relative silence may also be largely due to the fact that he has been stripped of many social media accounts following the January 6 riot by his United States Capitol supporters.
Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter – his favorite platform – all suspended him permanently after the attack. YouTube has temporarily suspended the upload of new content from your channel.
The announcement of Trump’s new position came on the same day that the Senate received an impeachment article from the House of Representatives, which accused Trump of inciting the crowd that invaded the Capitol.
Trump was impeached for the second time by the House of Representatives on January 13. His Senate trial will begin on February 9.
On Sunday, the footage posted on social media by CBS12 reporter Paxton Boyd showed a low-flying biplane over West Palm Beach dragging a banner that read, “TRUMP YOUR PATHETIC LOST BACK TO MOSCOW”

Although little is known about Trump’s day-to-day schedule at Mar-a-Lago, he has angrily watched a series of TV interviews given by Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to The Daily Beast.
Fauci, the leading infectious disease specialist in the U.S., was defamed by Trump during the pandemic and said last week that it was “a somewhat liberating sensation” to work with the new Biden government.

The interviews made Trump loudly protest that Fauci was “incompetent” and that he should have fired the expert when he had the chance, the Daily Beast reported.
