Donald Trump Is Back On Twitter

Source: HuffPost/Mary Papenfuss

Former President Donald Trump is back on Twitter.

He’s reposting all of his messages from his own operation, Truth Social, under the new Twitter profile “President Donald J. Trump’s Truth Social Posts.”

The description for the account @PresTrumpTS adds: “President Donald J. Trump’s Truth Social Posts on Twitter — Making sure President Trump is heard on Twitter while he and Devin Nunes focus on Truth Social.”

The tweets available Monday included 210 messages Trump has posted on Truth Social since February, which are now also clearly tailored to Twitter. Each tweet pleads: “Please Follow and Retweet.”

He is now trying to weasel out of the purchase blaming something something 5% bot accounts so he doesn't have to pay the billion dollar back out fee.

I don't fault other people for their decision to stay, and I truly miss some really great lefty posters-Rude Pundit, Jeff Tiedrich, Auntie Crabby, Don Winslow, Robert Reich, Jon Pavlovich, John Fugelsang, but bottom line being, I won't be part of anything that involves that Bond Villain wanna be. Robber Barons are a cancer on humanity.

Trump didn't invest his own money in it, and he will still make money off it if it folds.

Truth Social was set up through a shell company. Its purpose was to sell stock, not actually operate a business.

Here's the pinned tweet from the account:

*****President Donald J. Trump or anyone on or near his team has absolutely no association with this account whatsoever. This account was simply created as information sharing because some people weren’t able to have access because of the limits of various formats*****

I've moderated several forums - that's a good way to get permanently and hard IP removed from any forum on the planet.

Someone is posting his truth account posts on twitter there is a difference, does anyone bother to read anymore? This hands in the air drama is crazy.

How do you stop a proxy from repeating his garbage?

i never thought he should've been banned in the first place. and people quiting now because of it should've quit using it way before he joined the first time.

i quit years ago when they refused to ban chinese communist party mouthpiece spewing hate... but no one cared..... also north korean mouth piece....hello!?

i kind of wish elon would buy tiktok, then maybe other people would quit using that garbage application that is numbing the minds of millions of teens.

what would happen if you bombed a bot (s) with TFG tweet(sssss) from truth social on twitter? And referred those back from a bot to truthsocial and twiteer and other various twitter accounts?

I wonder if anyone ever tried that?
