GOP Source: Trump “Probably” Making Twitter Return

Former President Donald Trump He is keen to get back to Twitter and Facebook. Trump, whose account was reinstated after Tesla purchased Twitter and SpaceX CEO Elon Muss, is sticking to Truth Social, even though his account has been suspended.

A Republican who has knowledge of private conversations on Trump’s possible return to Twitter and spoke with NBC News On condition of anonymity “Trump is probably coming back to Twitter. It’s just a question of how and when. He’s been talking about it for weeks, but Trump speaks for Trump, so it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll do or say or when.”

A source close to Trump said that Trump sought advice on Twitter’s potential return for weeks and that his campaign advisors were working on ideas for his first tweet on the platform since over 2 years.

Some Trump advisors suggested that 2024’s presidential candidate could have difficulty posting on other social media platforms, since Truth Social was founded. Trump spokesmen told NBC that he is confident he can return to Twitter.

Trump was expelled from the social media platform on January 8th 2021, just two days after the Capitol Riots of January 6.

Twitter released a statement at that time: “After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

“On Wednesday, in light of recent events that have left many dead, we made clear that further violations of Twitter Rules could lead to this very course. Our public interest framework is designed to allow the public to directly hear from world leaders and elected officials. It is based on the principle that people have the right to see power in the open.

“However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.”

Trump had previously stated that he would not be returning to the platform and that he would stick to Truth Social. 

“Truth Social “It is through the roof,” said he. “it’s doing phenomenally well, the press needs to talk about it, but it’s doing phenomenally well. I think engagement is much better than it is with Twitter. And It’s taking care of voices that really want to be taken care of, and smart voices, brilliant voices, voices that in many cases are both sides.”

Trump’s potential return on Twitter has been discussed after Trump’s campaign filed for his Facebook account will be restored as it nears the end its two-year suspension. The Facebook ban was implemented on January 7, 2021. It was initially for two years. After that, it would be reviewed.

“We believe that the ban on President Trump’s account on Facebook has dramatically distorted and inhibited the public discourse,” Trump’s campaign wrote in its letter to Meta, formerly Facebook, on Tuesday.

Unidentified Trump advisor told NBC News that the Facebook ban was illegal and that the company would honor the decision. two-year ban Restore his account.

“If Facebook wants to have this fight, fine, but the House is leverage, and keeping Trump off Facebook just looks political,” The advisor stated.
