Former US president Donald Trump has set up the ‘Office of the Former President’ at Palm Beach in Florida, PTI reported. The office will be responsible for managing the former president’s correspondence, public statements, appearances and official activities, a media statement issued on Monday read.

It will also advance the interests of the US and carry on the agenda of the Trump administration through advocacy, organising and public activism, the statement added.

Trump was banned from Twitter and other prominent social media platforms, including YouTube and Instagram, for inciting his supporters, who stormed the Capitol on January 6 to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s victory.

He along with his wife Melania left the White House just hours before Biden’s inauguration on January 20.

“President Trump will always and forever be a champion for the American People,” the statement issued on Monday read, which is the first official statement Trump has made since leaving the office.

The House of Representatives impeached him on January 13 for a historic second time on a charge of incitement of insurrection.
