DONALD Trump is "planning" for his next administration and his children are on top of the list, his former chief of staff said.

Mark Meadows told Fox News on Thursday that Trump will discuss how the next administration will take shape when he returns to the national stage for a speech over the weekend.

Trump will be the keynote speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday.

"You're going to see a speech on Sunday that talks about not only the beginning, but what the future may look like, and I'm excited about it," Meadows said.

"I spoke to President Trump last night for a fairly lengthy conversation where [we] were talking about America, where it needs to go, continuing the America first agenda."

"But more importantly than that, how this president – Biden – has undermined that particular policy within days, and we see it."

He went on to say that a future potential administration would involve many Trumps.

"What we will see on Sunday is we will see the start of planning for the next administration," Meadows said.

"And I can tell you, the people at the top of that list, all of them have Trump as their last name."

This news comes even as Trump was criticized heavily for giving his family jobs – which many deemed them unqualified for – in the White House.

His eldest daughter, Ivanka, worked as an adviser to the president during Trump's time in office.

Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner, served as an assistant and senior advisor to the president.

Trump's two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, did not work in the White House, though they would regularly appear on the campaign trail.

His two youngest children, Tiffany and Baron, appeared less often.

Trump is expected to use the speech as a warm-up to announcing another run for president in 2024, but stop short of actually declaring himself a potential candidate.

The first few weeks of Joe Biden's presidency will reportedly be a major target during the speech.

Trump adviser Jason Miller confirmed to Axios that Trump plans to remain very involved in the Republican party.

"Trump effectively is the Republican party," he said.

"The only chasm is between Beltway insiders and grassroots Republicans around the country.

"When you attack President Trump, you're attacking the Republican grassroots," Miller said.

Trump is also expected to slam the 10 House Republicans and seven Senate Republicans who voted to impeach him in his second impeachment trial during Sunday his speech.
