Why did Clive Palmer launch a new political party called Trumpet of Patriots?

Clive Palmer launched the Trumpet of Patriots after failing to register his previous United Australia Party in time for the upcoming federal election, which could be held as early as March. This new Trump-inspired political party aims to prioritize Australian interests by challenging current government spending and immigration policies. Palmer plans to contest all 150 lower house seats and Senate positions, positioning the party as an alternative that will 'drain the political swamp' in Canberra. Despite his wealth and political ambitions, Palmer has chosen to serve as chairman rather than running for office himself.
