Former US President Donald Trump has shut down his personal social media platform launched less than a month ago instead of Twitter.
According to the official report, Jason Miller, Trump’s senior aide confirmed that the webpage, dubbed “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” has been shuttered permanently.
He stated that the webpage was just auxiliary to the broader efforts they have and are working on. He said that they are hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon and they do not have any precise awareness of timing.
Miller later replied to a tweet asking whether the move was a “precursor” to the former president joining “another social media platform,” saying, “Yes, actually, it is.”
Launched on May 4, the platform much resembles Twitter, which alongside Facebook banned Trump from posting messages in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol riot that the former president was accused of inciting.
On May 5, Facebook’s Oversight Board decided to uphold the ban on Trump’s account.
