Donald Trump is hoping to revive his outside status that brought him success in the 2016 election as he bids to return to the White House in 2024.
The former President's position as the most likely person to secure the candidacy in the Republican primary came under threat after a lacklustre display in this year's midterm elections.
Many Republicans now see Trump as a liability and those views have only got stronger following his controversial dinner with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, whose anti-semitic views have seen his lucrative deal with Adidas get terminated.
