Trump to Return to Social Media with His Own Platform

Former President Donald Trump will return to social media in the next two to three months with his own platform, former Trump administration adviser Jason Miller told Fox News Sunday. Without offering details, Miller said Trump's new platform will "completely redefine the game" and potentially attract "tens of millions" of users. This comes after Trump was permanently suspended from social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter, after the platform's executives said Trump's tweets carried the risk of "incitement of violence," and that the president encouraged his supporters to breach the Capitol on Jan. 6; during the breach, Trump tweeted support of law enforcement and asked his supporters to "remain peaceful." Coverage from left- and center-rated outlets tended to highlight the social media platform's reasoning for Trump's ban. Voices from the right tended to frame the ban as censorship; some outlets on the right also speculated that a social media platform created by Trump could attract many conservatives who feel their views are censored or suppressed by other social media sites.
