Whether

Donald Trump

may, at its disposal as US president again return to the big policy stage?

Only the

impeachment process

starting today

will show it.

However, Trump confidants want to continue the delicate legacy:

Ex-spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders

now

wants to

become governor in the state of Arkansas.

She now announced her plan in a familiar style.

"Everything we love about America is at stake," Sanders said on Monday, referring to the changing of the guard at the

White House

.

"And with the radical left, which now has control of Washington, your Governor is your last line of defense." In her application speech for the

election in 2022

promised was to fight against "socialism and tyranny" and for religious freedom and the

right to bear arms

to use. 

Sander's speech was largely reminiscent of earlier

Trump speeches

.

The 38-year-old said she took on the media and the radical left in her time as Trump spokeswoman, "and I won".

She added, "As a White House press secretary, I've never had to worry about the radical left and its allies at CNN or the

New York Times

defining me because I have a creator who has already done that." The Christian broadcaster CBN told Sanders in early 2019 that it believed God wanted "Donald Trump to be President." 

Donald Trump: a good 30,000 lies as US President?

Washington Post does the bill

Update from January 25th, 10.30 a.m.:

The most famous lie of

Donald Trump

at the end of his tenure as president is that of massive electoral fraud in the US election in 2020. There is still no conclusive evidence of this.

But Trump also made numerous other false statements via Twitter, in speeches or press briefings.

The corona pandemic will disappear "like a miracle", he holds the "all-time record" for appearing on the cover of Time magazine, there was a huge audience when he was inaugurated: These are just a few examples

of Trump's

lies

that the

Washington Post

fact checker

have now examined and counted more closely.

The shocking record of his tenure:

the US newspaper collected

30,573 false or misleading claims

.

Almost half come from his senior year as US president.

It was about the elections, education, economy, crime, foreign policy and the coronavirus - it felt like hardly a topic Trump left out.

Over time, a kind of parallel reality has emerged that drove the division of America even further.

And which his

successor Joe Biden is

now trying with all his might to overcome.

Donald Trump's time in the White House: "There were corona deniers"

Update from January 24th, 8:15 p.m.:

Donald Trump's term of office as US President ended a

good four days ago

.

Now the former

head of his Corona task force has

spoken out with profound criticism.

There were

corona deniers in the White House

, said

Deborah Birx

on the US TV show "Face The Nation".

“There were definitely people who thought it was a fake,” she said.

The

immunologist

avoided open criticism of Trump

.

Still, she was horrified at some phases of

the ex-president's

pandemic policy

.

Every time a leading politician did not express himself in accordance with the needs of combating corona, this “threw their work off track”, said Birx - precisely because the pandemic situation requires the participation of all citizens in the country.

She personally liked to

travel to the USA

: There she was

"not censored,"

emphasized the doctor.

Birx expressed himself shocked by the

corona events in the US

under the Trump presidency.

She herself lost her grandmother to

Covid-19

: "That others feel the same degree of pain and loss, although it can or could be preventable, that was really painful."

Donald Trump: Start for the impeachment on Monday - schedule is

Update from January 24th, 5:10 p.m.:

The

impeachment process

in the US Senate, which can thwart the political future of

ex-US President Donald Trump

, will enter the hot phase in the second week of February.

Then Trump should be negotiated in the Chamber of Parliament like in a court case.

His term of office has already expired - but the procedure could

bring him to

a lifelong

suspension of office at the federal level

.

The Democrats want to hold Trump

accountable for

his supporters' attack on the

U.S. Capitol

on

Jan.

6.

At the same time, they also want to avoid the process

delaying

important initial initiatives by the new President

Joe Biden

- such as the huge new stimulus package with a volume of 1.9 trillion dollars, which is still controversial between Democrats and Republicans in the Senate.

First of all, the House of Representatives' indictment with the accusation of "inciting a riot" should be

read out

in the

Senate

on Monday evening local time (7:00 p.m. / 1:00 a.m. CET on Tuesday)

.

Then on Tuesday the members of the proceedings will be sworn in, as the Democratic majority leader in the US Senate,

Chuck Schumer

, announced.

Donald Trump: Next bitter rejection after being voted out - airport dream now burst?

Update from January 24th, 1.30 p.m.:

It is allegedly a fervent wish of ex-President

Donald Trump

.

One day an airport will be named after him.

Airports, buildings, and schools in the United States are often named after former presidents.

His suggestion, according to the tabloid

Rawstory

:

Trump International

.

In keeping with this, Donald Trump liked to hold election campaign events at airfields.

One airport that lent itself to the realization of this dream was that of

Palm Beach

.

Because that's where the

Mar-a-Lago golf resort

is located

, where the Trump family settled after they moved

out of the White House

.

But now the Palm Beach district made it clear that Trump's dream will not come true.

At least not with them.

That was reported by

Sun-Sentinel

, the daily newspaper with the highest circulation in the area.

The head of the district commission, Melissa McKinlay, said in an interview with the newspaper that she did not believe in this idea.

"When people hear Palm Beach, they imagine our beaches, our equestrian sports, and in some cases our agricultural contributions," said McKinlay.

"It's a lifestyle" - which she apparently does not want to associate with ex-President

Donald Trump,

who is currently in his

second impeachment case

.

The name "Trump International" is also better suited for one of his golf courses.

Donald Trump's team suspected: money donations in connection with storming the US Capitol

Update from January 24th, 9:15 a.m.:

The Trump team is suspected of being connected to the

riots during the storming of the US Capitol

on January 6th

through donations of money

.

This is reported by the Washington-based NGO

Center for Responsive Politics

, which claims to be tracking money in politics and lobbying.

According to their research, the campaign of ex-President Donald Trump has donated millions in the past two years - 2.7 million US dollars - to private individuals and organizations that are apparently involved in the planning and implementation of the attack on the Capitol.

It is a serious suspicion that joins the cumulative problems of Donald Trump *.

Update from January 23, 1:45 p.m.:

An investigative research by the

New York Times

uncovered

Donald Trump's last attempt

to stay in power.

The ex-president toyed with the idea of ​​replacing Justice Minister Jeffrey Rosen.

With the help of attorney Jeffrey Clark, he apparently wanted to

reverse

the

election results of the state of Georgia

in his favor.

According to the

New York Times

, the

project failed

because senior Justice Department officials threatened to lay off.

Public statements from Donald Trumps, Jeffrey Rosens and the Justice Department have not yet been received.

After the handover to Joe Biden: Donald Trump speaks for the first time in Florida

First report from January 23, 11.00 a.m.:

Palm Beach, Florida - For the first time since the

handover to Joe Biden

,

ex-President Donald Trump made

public statements.

Trump had been remarkably quiet during the change of power.

He had first gone into hiding at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

But now a journalist from the

Washington Examiner

claims to have spoken exclusively to Trump

on Friday

.

Even if very briefly.

“We'll do something, but not yet,”

the 74-year-old is said to have told reporter Rob Crilly.

The ex-president was having dinner with friends at his golf resort.

Crilly could not find out more, however, because Trump's assistant immediately ended the conversation.

However, the brief statement suggests that

Donald Trump *

is planning

a comeback

.

In any form whatsoever.

Hints were already circulating that he was planning to found his own party *.

Donald Trump left Washington before Biden's inauguration - he retires to golf in Mar-a-Lago

While the

Democratic Party is initiating impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump

, one of his favorite pastimes was going on: golfing.

In pictures, taken in his resort Mar-a-Lago, you can see him in a white polo shirt and red Make America Great cap.

Instead of attending Joe Biden's inauguration, as is tradition for an outgoing US President,

Donald Trump left

for Florida on

January 20 with Melania *

.

Which seemed noticeably relaxed * during the departure from the White House.

Meanwhile, the Trump children fought back tears at their father's farewell ceremony.

Probably also because they fear * for their own political future.

"He needs a break,"

said

one of his employees, according

to the

Washington Examiner

.

"I think we all hope he only plays golf for a month, but he always has to be on the go." What Donald Trump is planning is open.

In his four-year presidency, however, he has proven numerous times that he can act erratically.

His neighborhood, on the other hand, apparently * hopes for one thing above all: peace.
