Donald Trump intends to launch his own social media platform, according to former adviser
Jason Miller, a former adviser to the former US president, told Fox News that Trump is "working hard" on creating a new social network. According to Miller, Trump is likely to reappear in "two or three months."
Donald Trump plans to return to social media soon, using "his own platform" after being banned from Twitter and other outlets, a former adviser said on Sunday (03/21/2021).
"I think we are going to see President Trump go back to social media in probably two or three months," Jason Miller told Fox News.
"He's going to completely redefine the game, and everyone is going to be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does. It will be his own platform," said Miller, who held senior positions in both Trump presidential campaigns. .
Trump's provocative use of social media was a strong trait during his presidency, drawing 88 million followers to Twitter. Furthermore, he often used that medium to lash out at critics of him, to announce significant changes in personnel or political changes.
Twitter permanently suspended his "@realDonaldTrump" account after he used it to encourage people to participate in the demonstration that turned into the violent assault on the United States Capitol on January 6. The former US president was also banned, temporarily or permanently, by other large platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat.
Since he left Washington and returned to his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, the former president has kept a relatively low profile, issuing occasional press releases. Nonetheless, Miller cautioned that Trump has been "working hard."
The former adviser assured that the ex-president has had many important meetings in Mar-a-Lago. That "numerous companies" have visited him, he pointed out. And he added, "This new platform is going to be great, and everyone loves him (Trump). It's going to bring millions and millions ... tens of millions of people to this new platform."
Miller has not provided further details, nor has he said whether he will be personally involved.
Despite Trump's November loss to Democrat Joe Biden, he remains influential in the Republican Party and has not ruled out a third presidential bid in 2024.
