“Now there may be a variant of the third party,” Zhirinovsky said during a working lunch-meeting of deputies of the LDPR faction. “Democratic, Republican and his own. (…) But when they say:” Let’s have one more party. ” What to do? This is where Trump struck all parties, and behind him 72 million [of those who voted for him in the elections in 2020], let half remain. “
Thus, Zhirinovsky estimated the number of voters of the “Trump party” at 30 million people. The politician noted that Trump has ambitions and money to create such a project, but it is necessary to implement the mechanism of “election campaign and party alignment”.
