The return of Donald Trump
After months of speculation, Donald Trump has officially launched his campaign to run for US presidency in 2024.
“America’s comeback starts right now,” he said from his club in Palm Beach, Florida. “We were a great and glorious nation. Now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation.” He also vowed to “make America great and glorious again”, which many humourously tipped to be the new slogan to replace MAGA (make America great again).
Trump’s presidency was one of the most controversial in history, and his announcement reignited the great divide of staunch support or slight across international media.

It’s interesting to note this is in stark contrast to an article run by Fox News last week which appeared to begin distancing itself from Trump, lauding Florida governor Ron DeSantis as the potential future of the Republican party:

It’s possible that the usually Trump-backing Rupert Murdoch owned publications are beginning to be less overt in their support following reports that Murdoch had previously warned Trump any attempt to return to the White House would not be fully backed, instead turning to support for DeSantis.
A senior News Corp source told the i newspaper, “We have been clear with Donald. There have been conversations between them during which Rupert made it clear to Donald that we cannot back another run for the White House.”
However, following Trump’s announcement, it will be interesting to monitor how the narrative changes, if at all.
