Twitter Suspends Trump’s New Account For Trying To Evade The Ban On His Old Account

Twitter has suspended an account created to share posts from a website recently launched by former President Donald Trump, claiming the new handle is an attempt to bypass the suspension of his personal account, in the latest move by a major social media company limiting Trump’s ability to spread his message.

The new site, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” went live Tuesday, as did its accompanying Twitter handle, @DJTDesk.

By late Wednesday night, the account had been suspended.

A Twitter spokesperson told Forbes: “As stated in our ban evasion policy, we’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account.”
