Trump Releases First Comment Since Leaving Office
Jan 24 2021
Ever since former president Donald Trump left the White House on January 20th, 2021, becoming the first president to skip the inauguration of his successor since Andrew Johnson, people have been wondering what he intends to do next as a private citizen. The 74-year-old had been suspiciously quiet as Joe Biden stepped into the Oval Office and revoked his policies on climate change, immigration, and more. Twitter, his former go-to platform, permanently banned him from tweeting on January 8th after Trump encouraged the U.S. Capital Riots on January 6th. Trump, along with his wife, Melania, moved to Florida and is currently staying at Mar-A-Lago — the resort where he spent 150 days golfing throughout his presidency, according to The Trump Golf Tracker.

Prior to him leaving office, Trump addressed his supporters and hinted that he was planning a political comeback. Trump told supporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland before leaving on Air Force One for the final time,

"Goodbye. We love you. We will be back in some form."

It seems like Trump is keeping to his word, as he just broke his silence on what he'll be doing next, albeit without any specific details.

In his first public remarks since leaving Washington, D.C., Donald Trump said he will attempt a comeback, but did not state the timeline of when he intends to make his moves. Trump told journalist Rob Crilly of the Washington Examiner on Jan. 22, 2021,

"We'll do something, but not just yet."

Trump, who was known to go on tangents at press conferences during his presidency, made the comment in the Grill Room of the Trump International Golf Club where he was dining with friends, according to the outlet. The comment also marked Trump's "first words to a journalist" since leaving office, but that was all he would say after an assistant rushed in to stop Crilly from asking further questions.
