Donald Trump to launch online platform soon to counter Twitter, Facebook ban

Washington: Donald Trump, who is banned from Twitter and Facebook, will make a major comeback on social media in two or three months. However, this time Donald Trump will make a comeback with his own online platform. This information was given by the former US president’s political advisor, Jason Miller.

Trump was banned from Twitter and Facebook following the US Capitol Hill riots January 6. On that day, hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building, leaving five people dead, including a police officer. Two tweets made by Trump, before the riots, were deemed as glorifying violence.

Miller was speaking Sunday to ‘Fox News’. He said the 74-year-old Republican leader will be ‘returning to social media in probably about two or three months’. Miller asserted the new online platform will attract ‘tens of millions’ of new users and ‘completely redefine the game’.

“This is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media,” Miller said. “It’s going to completely redefine the game. Everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what President Trump does, but it will be his own platform,” Miller stated.

Miller said numerous companies had approached the former president to develop the new platform.

Before his ban from the two most popular social networking sites, Trump was an enthusiastic social media user. He reached out to millions of his followers daily on current topics.

Trump was initially locked out of his Twitter account for 12 hours in January. The move came after he called the people who stormed the US Capitol ‘patriots’.

Trump’s accounts were also suspended on Facebook, popular gaming platform ‘Twitch’ and multimedia messaging app ‘Snapchat’.
