Former President Donald Trump's blog has been permanently shut down.

Former President Donald Trump’s blog — a webpage where he shared statements after larger social media companies banned him from their platforms — has been permanently shut down, his spokesman said Wednesday.

The page, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” has been scrubbed from Trump’s website and “will not be returning,” his senior aide Jason Miller told CNBC.

“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said in email correspondence.

Along with Trump airlines, Trump University, Trump wines, Trump steaks, his marriages, his failed re-election bid etc etc.

They got rid of it because no one was viewing it. Trump and his grifters think his name automatically makes anything profitable, they've got another thing coming.

Or his lawyers advised him to shut it down in prep for a legal defense.

It's easier to have Brad Parscale send threatening texts to the morans, demanding cash for the 'start the steal' I mean 'stop the steal' effort.

Trump Slides Toward Online Irrelevance
May 22, 2021 at 4:22 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


“On the Internet, former president Donald Trump is sliding toward something he has fought his entire life: irrelevance,” the Washington Post reports.

“Online talk about him has plunged to a five-year low. He’s banned or ignored on pretty much every major social media venue. In the last week, Trump’s website — including his new blog, fundraising page and online storefront ­— attracted fewer estimated visitors than the pet-adoption service Petfinder and the recipe site Delish.”

“Social engagement around Trump — a measure of likes, reactions, comments or shares on content about him across Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Pinterest — has nosedived 95 percent since January, to its lowest level since 2016.”
