Trump shuts down his blog after less than a month
Source: CNN
New York (CNN Business)The blog page that former President Donald Trump launched less than one month ago, after his team suggested he'd be launching a major new social platform, has been permanently shuttered.
Jason Miller, a senior aide to Trump, told CNBC that the page "will not be returning."
Miller confirmed to CNN that the page had been scrubbed.
"It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on," Miller said.
Those who attempt to visit the page are now greeted with a web form asking for their contact information to receive updates through email or text message.

(34,092 posts)with a single user, and no means for anyone to interact with his faux tweets, other than to transfer them to facebook, twitter, or one other social media platform..
Functionally, it served solely as a means to spin out his faux tweets to a series of rapidly cancelled twitter accounts.

(53,871 posts)It's easy to tweet a few words or retweet something. That's right up trump's line but that's gone, thus the blog. But that's gone now too, which is also right up trump's line. Another failure.
Any other effort they're working on won't require trump to work, write, think, oven just to sign off on someone else's work.
All he wants is to make sure he has a suitable Tee time.

Something else, perhaps, to take up his time? Selling steaks, running an airline, casino?
Oh . . . never mind.
