After being blocked by Facebook and Twitter, former U.S. President Donald Trump returned with an online communication tool that could be called a "glorifying blog." His retro web page titled "From Donald J. From the Desk of Donald JTrump, DonaldJTrump.com/desk, features a photograph of the 45th U.S. president writing on his desk. Trump also used the platform to shout out his new slogans: "Save America" and "Unite, We Rebuild America." ”
Shout: The Lighthouse of Freedom has risen
He will use the new tool to communicate with his supporters, a new social media platform that replaces platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, which previously banned his accounts and made it difficult for him to speak out. In this regard, netizens joked: The top traffic is back strongly! Their own platform has the final say, and no one can suppress Chuanbao's humorous talent! My joy is back!
The website also includes a video of the former president and statements from his Political Action Committee, which have been emailed for weeks. The site can post comments, pictures and videos, and while users can't reply to or participate in discussions about Trump's posts, they can like and share them on their Twitter or Facebook accounts.
The center of the site's homepage after opening also placed a thirty-second video with subtitles that advertised Trump's mission. The subtitle reads: In the midst of silence and lies, the Beacon of Freedom has risen, a place where it is safe to speak and speak freely, and it leads directly to Trump's desk. ”
Below the video is a series of blog-like statements by Trump, the most recent of which began: The latest poll by Wyoming militant Liz Cheney is moving. Her status is so low that the only chance is to have a large number of people competing with her, but hopefully that won't happen. They haven't been very fond of her, but I dare say she'll never run in an election in Wyoming again!
Previously, Cheney has come under fire from some Republicans loyal to Trump who claim trump actually won the 2020 election because Cheney publicly told the lie and strongly criticized the january 6 rebellion launched by Trump's extreme supporters in the US Capitol.
Trump can communicate with his fans
According to the settings of the site's features, supporters can be notified by signing up when Trump sends a message on his site, which is similar to the functionality of other social media platforms. A source familiar with the field told Fox News, which first disclosed the launch of Trump's platform, "It's just a one-way communication, and this system allows Trump to communicate with his fans." ”
He also vowed to "rebuild America."
The site's "About" page also includes a statement promoting the Trump administration, as well as a series of mission statements, including "We are committed to defending innocent lives and upholding the Jewish and Christian values of our founding," and "We believe in free speech and fair elections." We must ensure that fair, honest, transparent and secure elections continue, and that every legitimate vote counts. ”
The mission statement added, "Over the past four years, my administration has contributed to Americans of all backgrounds as never before." Saving America is building on these achievements and supporting the brave conservatives who will determine the future of America's First Movement, the future of our party, and the future of the nation we love dearly. Saving America is also about ensuring that we always put America first in our foreign and domestic policies. ”
The site says it is run by digital firm Campagen Nucleus, founded by Brad Parscale, Trump's former campaign manager. After Trump was swept away by Twitter and Facebook during the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, the platform allowed him to reach out to his supporters online.
For now, Facebook's oversight board will announce on Wednesday whether to lift the ban on Trump, who has been permanently banned from using Twitter. Both bans were imposed after the deaths and injuries of violent riots on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, and both platforms invoked Trump's remarks questioning voter fraud during the November presidential election.
The sword refers to the 2024 presidential campaign
Before creating this digital space, senior adviser Jason Miller said in March that Trump would return to social media with his "own platform." It's unclear how often Trump will post on the platform, but at a time when he's likely to run for president for the third time in 2024, creating this platform could be a key tool to keep Trump's supporters enthusiastic.
Previously, Trump violated Twitter's "glorify violence" rules, and after the ATTACK on the US Congress, Twitter announced a permanent ban on Trump. Facebook also banned him. Meanwhile, Trump, who was "exiled" in Palm Beach after leaving office in defeat and disgrace, has been sending press releases to reporters.
When the page was released on Tuesday, comments and ridicule erupted on social media, suggesting trump's long-awaited return to social media was largely due to platforms such as Blogger, launched in 1999. But Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the former president, clarified that via Twitter. He wrote, "The (former) President Trump's website is a great resource to find his latest statements and highlights from his first term, but it's not a new social media platform." We will have more information on this in the near future. ”
