Back to square one? Donald Trump would actively seek to return to Facebook but also intends to relaunch on Twitter, according to information from the US media NBC. Regarding the first social network, his campaign team was in charge of demanding the replacement of the account from the Meta matrix, deleted since January 2021 with the invasion of the Capitol.
The outlet specifies that the text does not mention any threat of prosecution but proposes a “meeting to discuss the rapid reinstatement of President Trump to the platform.”
The two-year ban actually expired at the beginning of January, but Meta is still reluctant to reinstate the account of the new candidate for the presidency of the United States. Her case is currently being studied and will be decided by Nick Clegg, Facebook’s head of international affairs and communications.
The Twitter dilemma
Regarding Twitter, the return of the controversial account would only be a matter of time. After taking office, Elon Musk decided to restore Trump’s account on November 20, also banned after the invasion of the Capitol. Except that the former president has yet to reuse his favorite network.
Always according to NBC, which quotes Trump’s relatives, the latter is nevertheless impatient to return and his advisers are already working on the tweet of the great comeback. Problem, the businessman launched his own social network in May 2022, called Truth Social.
and how do you remember the New York Magazine in May 2022, citing a financial document public, Donald Trump has committed to his investors to put their Truth Social posts exclusively online for six hours. In other words, Donald Trump would only be able to replicate his posts long overdue if he used Twitter. With, however, important exceptions for messages “of a political nature”, which could leave a gap for the former president to use other platforms.
Still, a return to Twitter would likely be the heralded death of the Truth Social in which he invested some of his money.
