Donald Trump will soon use “his own platform” to return to social media, an adviser said on Sunday, months after the former president was banned from Twitter for inciting the US Capitol riot.

Trump has chafed in relative silence at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida since losing his Twitter account and the protections and powers of office. Recently he has released short and combative statements which many observers have likened to his tweets of old.

Speculation has also been rife that Trump might seek to create his own TV network in an attempt to prise viewers from Fox News, which was first to call the crucial state of Arizona for Joe Biden on election night, to Trump’s considerable anger. But on Sunday adviser Jason Miller told Fox News social media was the immediate target.

Trump will be “returning to social media in two or three months”, Miller told Media Buzz host Howard Kurtz, with “his own platform” that will “completely redefine the game” and attract “tens of millions” of users.

3. Don is gonna build his own "platform?"

Good luck with that.

4. Yes, I'm sure it will exhibit the same level of competence and thoughtfulness

as the four years of his presidency.

5. That

imaginary "platform" he thinks he is going to have is BS. Hopefully he will find himself getting indicted.

9. Donald Trump computer internet platform engineer

I remember him telling Tim Cook of apple that he had to look into using 5 G technology
even though that is for providers such as verizon, att, and so on .... Tim makes the phones.

6. I'll believe it when I see it. That fat fu_k has been successful in business when?

IMO this is going to be like the healthcare plan he kept saying he was going to roll out in a couple of weeks.

7. As long as everyone keeps posting his press releases all over everything, he doesn't need one.

19. May Trump and McConnell soon join Rush

Although I would like to see him in court/jail/prison 1st.

BTW he does look like death on a stick in that pix.

11. His Thunk Tank is hard at work on a smart Sharpie technology

He understands how Sharpies put squiggly lines on things, that he can hold up and show off with pride that he made squigglies.

Problem is it keeps translating his signature... inappropriately for his purposes. Their Sharpie digital translation engine outputs things like "Hail Master Satan" and "Bald Wimp Hitler" and "Indict Individual 1" instead of his name. Almost as though the software keeps translating his subconscious like something out of a Twilight Zone episode. Which would be a good lead-in to the denouement to the Twilight Zone episode where prior platforms helped him cheat his way into office.

14. Wonder what he'll charge to join??

[lindysalsagal]

16. Can you imagine the abuse?

He was haranguing his idiots for more and more donations before 1/6. Now that he has gajillions in lawyer fees due....

21. Bad news! Simple Simon has a ready-made audience of followers

eager for his orders. Not only that but this project probably has the hands of Kushner all over it, so that Trump and family might actually earn money from his followers.
