Trump’s Blog Page Shuts Down a Month After Launch

Former US President Donald Trump’s weblog web page, launched final month within the wake of main social media platforms banning him, has been faraway from his web site. Trump aide Jason Miller on Wednesday stated that the web page, which had been known as “From the Desk of Donald J Trump,” would not be returning. “It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said in an email to Reuters. Plans for the Republican former president to launch a social media platform have been teased for months by Trump’s team but with little detail.

“I’m hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon, but I do not have a precise awareness of timing,” Miller said. US President Donald Trump is seen tapping the screen on a mobile phone during a roundtable discussion on the reopening of small businesses in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, US, June 18, 2020. The blog page, which was billed as a place to “speak freely and safely,” served as a one-way technique of communication that contained posts from Trump that may very well be preferred and shared to social networks akin to Twitter and Facebook from which Trump remains blocked. A slew of social media platforms barred him following the January 6 riot at the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. Twitter, which Trump had used frequently, has said its ban is permanent, even if he runs for office again. Before being banned, the businessman-turned-politician had more than 88 million followers.
