Watch: Trump hints at comeback after FBI raid

Love him or loathe him, Donald Trump is a brilliant political opportunist. And the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate last night may have handed the former president a significant boost in any future run for the White House. Speculation is rife that The Donald will have another shot at the presidency – and the dramatic events of the last 24 hours have catapulted Trump back into the headlines. 

To no one’s surprise, Trump is making the most of being back in the limelight, releasing an apocalyptic campaign video this morning in which he paints a picture of an America in decline. 

Trump’s message of doom and gloom depicts the United States as a ‘failing nation’, forced to beg Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for oil. The stock market is down, he says and energy costs are up. ‘It will only get worse,’ according to Trump.

But if that’s the bad news, here’s the good news: there might be an orange saviour in sight.

‘There is no challenge we cannot beat’, Trump says. Echoing Winston Churchill, Trump adds: ‘There is no victory we can’t have. We will not bend we will not yield, ever ever ever’. No prizes for guessing who Trump has in mind in the quest to make America great again.
