Never one to sit around licking his wounds, Donald Trump announced yesterday that he has “formally opened the Office of the Former U.S. President.” It came in the form of a short statement issued Monday from his new account on the Telegram platform, on stationery boasting the United States seal labeled “The Office of Donald J. Trump.” The office will be responsible for handling Trump’s “correspondence, public statements, appearances, and official activities to advance the interests of the United States and to carry on the agenda of the Trump administration through advocacy, organizing and public activism,” the statement read. “President Trump will always and forever be an advocate for the American people.”
One of his first actions was to issue his “complete and total endorsement” of Sarah Huckabee’s bid for governor of Arkansas, which she rolled out on Monday. Huckabee, neé Sanders, served as one of Trump’s white House press secretaries.
