If Muhammad doesn't go to the mountain, the mountain goes to Muhammad: Trump is still banned from major social, so he's making his own social.
Donald Trump is ready to return to the web with a new social network. For his return, the tycoon has chosen to do things in a big way by creating a completely dedicated platform that will give ample space to the voice of the former President of the United States, an inevitable choice after the forced departure from the most popular social networks among users of the network: Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Snapchat.
He had been suspended or banned in a hurry after the events of last January 6, after what had been called incitement to assault the Capitol, from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube but, a couple of months later, and with a political office now behind him, The Donald is ready to be heard once again by his supporters with a social network designed and built in line with the Trump-thought. Announced by spokesman Jason Miller to Fox News, the operation will "completely redefine the game and everyone will be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does, but it will be his platform." A move that will make noise, that of Trump, given the concomitant fate of the most popular social network among conservative Americans: the famous Parler, first closed by Amazon (which hosted it on its servers) and then reopened but in a reduced version on Epik's servers.
Trump, when the return on the net?
According to Miller, Trump should peep on the pages of his social network in the next two-three months. As you can speculate, his presence will be similar if not even more rigid than what we've seen previously on the network, where the former president has often lashed out bitterly at his rivals, political or otherwise, and their actions.
Currently residing in his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, where he retired after leaving Capitol Hill, the businessman has recently expressed himself exclusively through press releases and a few interviews given during his public speaking engagements. The blocking of accounts has cost a lot to The Donald who, until last January, had also exploited his social channels for his most significant announcements on the most disparate aspects, even not strictly related to the political sphere.
Trump, the return to the network in pomp
According to what Miller said, the social network that will mark Trump's return to the network was the result of a particularly active collaboration between Trump and the parties involved. "There were a lot of high-impact meetings that he had at Mar-a-Lago with a number of teams of people who came," Miller confirmed during the speech. "There have been a number of companies."
On the effect the platform will have on the web, Miller had some particularly enthusiastic words, crunching numbers on what the likely involvement of the people of the web may be: "This new platform is going to be big and everyone is going to want it. It's going to bring millions and millions, tens of millions of people onto this platform." Could the social network, then, be the first step toward running for president in 2024, the third campaign for Trump? We just have to wait and see what will happen in the coming months and how his audience will welcome - a few months later and with a burning defeat more behind - The Donald on the web.
