This is his first official outing since the violence that took place at the Capitol.
This Tuesday, Donald Trump goes to Texas, clearly signaling his desire to stay in the White House until the end of his term.
In the turmoil eight days from the end of his mandate, he met Monday evening his vice-president Mike Pence who apparently decided to make - for the moment - common front with him against the Democrats, rejecting the calls to remove him from office with the 25th amendment to the Constitution.
A program still unclear
The American president's departure for Alamo, in South Texas, is scheduled for 10 a.m., but the White House has remained particularly discreet on the day's program in this large state bordering Mexico.
Objective of this trip according to the executive?
"To mark the completion of over 400 miles (640 km) of border wall - promise made, promise kept - and showcase his government's efforts to reform a dysfunctional immigration system."
We are far, very far from the "great, magnificent" wall promised by Donald Trump in campaign in 2016. Of this total, only about twenty kilometers correspond to the construction of a wall where there was no physical barrier before. .
The rest corresponds to improvements and / or reinforcements of existing barriers.
And Mexico never paid for the wall, as the real estate mogul had promised.
In Washington, a procedure that would go down in history is preparing, and could mortgage the possible political future of Donald Trump.
He could indeed become the first US president to be twice impeached in Congress in impeachment proceedings.
The House will consider the indictment on Wednesday and is expected to vote on that same day.
