After storming the US Capitol in Washington DC, Donald Trump was banned from all major social media platforms. Now the ex-president is planning his own stage.
According to a consultant, ex-US President Donald Trump is planning his own social media platform. The announcement comes after his suspension on Twitter, Facebook and other Internet services. Accordingly, Trump will return to social media with his own new service in two to three months. The adviser and spokesman for the Trump 2020 campaign Jason Miller told Fox News on Sunday.
Miller expects the new Trump platform to attract tens of millions of new users and “completely redefine the game”. Allegedly, Trump is in contact with several companies and has already met with different teams to work on the project. Without giving any further details, Miller indicated that “the new platform will be big”.
