Trump confronts changed GOP ahead of anticipated presidential announcement

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has traded a Manhattan skyscraper for a Florida resort, golden escalators for palm trees, and an overlooked midday roll-out for a closely watched prime-time spectacle.

A lot has changed for Trump since he last launched a presidential bid from outside the White House in 2015 — and not just the scenery.

The former president is widely expected on Tuesday to say that he will again seek the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, declaring his intentions during a 9 p.m. EST speech (cable channels C-SPAN and NewsMax and online at multiple streaming sites) from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. The announcement marks the start of a new chapter for Trump, one in which a politician who began his 2016 bid from Trump Tower in New York City to little fanfare will try to become the first person in more than 125 years to retake control of the White House after losing an election.
