Trump’s “Twitter” Is Coming Soon
“This new platform will be great”
Former US President Trump had already openly toyed with the idea of building his own platform after his Twitter lockdown in early January. That day now seems to be approaching. “Tens of millions of people” should find a new home on social media.
Former US President Donald Trump, excluded from Twitter, wants to return to social media with his own platform, according to his confidant Jason Miller. He expects it “probably in about two or three months,” according to Miller. Trump’s former campaign adviser continued on Fox News: “This new platform will be great.” He assumed that Trump would then follow “tens of millions of people” on his new channel.
Miller did not comment on the details. But he said Trump had intensive meetings with various teams at his Mar-a-Lago vacation home in Florida because of the project. Trump was followed by more than 88 million people on Twitter. The company announced in January that it would permanently ban Trump for “risking further incitement to violence.”
Earlier, Trump supporters stormed the Washington Capitol to protest the election result, which Trump lost. Trump was accused of inciting the mob. The Republican had portrayed the Twitter blockade as a conspiracy by company employees with Democrats and “radical leftists” aimed at silencing him. He did not provide any evidence to support his claim.
Trump had already announced after the Twitter lockdown in early January, about two weeks before his term ended, that negotiations were underway with several other websites and that they were also considering setting up their own platform. Because Twitter still sees no turning back for former President Donald Trump, who has been ousted from the platform. “Our rules are designed to ensure that no one incites violence. If someone does that, we remove them from the platform, and our rules do not allow people to return,” CFO Ned Segal said on CNBC.
“This is how our rules work: If you were removed from the platform, you were removed from the platform, regardless of whether you are a commentator, CFO or former or incumbent public official,” Segal said.
