Trump Returning to Social Media with ‘His Own Platform’
Remember a few months ago when former US president Donald Trump was suspended from Twitter, Facebook, Twitch and Snapchat after January’s riots at the US Capitol?
Well, it seems Mr Trump will be back online soon as he plans on making a social media comeback “with his own platform”.
According to his advisor, Jason Miller, Mr Trump will return to social media “in probably about two or three months.”
He said the platform “will be the hottest ticket in social media” and would “completely redefine the game”.
What else do we know?
Donald Trump is no longer able to tweet
Being banned from social media was a big blow to Mr Trump.
He used Twitter A LOT throughout his presidency and would tweet pretty much all day every day to speak to supporters, fire officials, accuse the media of putting out “fake news” about him, and to talk about issues that have angered him – often using capital letters and lots of exclamation marks.
Whilst his critics said Mr Trump’s account was a place of lies and misinformation, the platform allowed him to instantly connect with nearly 89 million followers.

His advisor said: “everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does”.
“This new platform is going to be big,” he added, predicting that Mr Trump would draw “tens of millions of people”.
