Donald Trump Gearing Up For Social Media Return With Own Platform
Former President Donald Trump has been exiled from basically every social media platform, prompting speculation that he could start his own site.
On Sunday, it was announced that Trump indeed has a social media site in the works.
Jason Miller, a Trump advisor and spokesman, explained to Fox News’ Mediabuzz that the 74-year-old has plans to launch this platform in a few months. Miller said it will bring in “tens of millions” users and would be different from other sites.
.@JasonMillerinDC said President Trump will be "returning to social media in two or three months" with "his own platform" that will "completely redefine the game" and attract "tens of millions" of new users. #MediaBuzz

Not much information has been disclosed. Miller teased that a few companies had already reached out to partner with Trump, though Miller didn't cite any names.
Trump has been suspended from social media for months. Some Twitter users shared their opinions about Trump's resurfacing on a new platform.
This is genius. It’ll most likely be the fastest growing social media platform in history. Millions within the first week.

Let’s hope the rumor is true that Donald Trump is starting his own social media platform. A place for everyone to unite!

Side note—I hope it’s better structured than Parler, Gab, and Telegram.
#DonaldTrump creating new social media platform, i am really excited and i look forward to join. This will of course be more of a conservative platform at first but i hope #Trump apart from #Twitter will respect free speech for all, and eventually take over the role Twitter got https://t.co/SXD0aEUGPB

There were also others who expressed concern about the negative consequences of Trump's return.
That moment when you get kicked off every platform so you have to make your own because you're an egotistical, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, orange freak. https://t.co/xaQ1R9HyDT

If Donald Trump puts as much effort into his own social media platform as he did the Presidency, the inevitable hack-and-dump later this year will be amusing

Trump was first permanently banned from Twitter and then Facebook and other sites, for allegedly inciting the Jan. 6 attacks. He often made inflammatory comments on social media and Democrats have described some of his tweets as "witness intimidation."
