Earlier this year, big tech carried out an all-out blacklisting of now-former President Trump. Sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., declared that Trump’s remarks about the January 6 insurrection violated their terms agreements regarding incitement of violence. Therefore, these sites shut down the now-former president’s accounts.
However, big tech’s blacklisting campaign is not stopping Trump. He has an active account on Gab in addition to an office where press releases are sent out on a semi-regular basis.
Just earlier this week, Trump also kicked off a brand new communications platform, as Fox News reports.

Folks who sign up will then get notifications once Trump makes a new post.
The former president is additionally active on Gab.com, a strong free speech friendly alternative to Facebook.
Trump 2024?
Many Americans are still wondering about whether or not Trump will run for president again once the 2024 election cycle rolls around. The former president hinted at a 2024 run days ago.
While Trump didn’t expressly commit to seeking office, he did declare that his supporters would be happy with the forthcoming announcement he makes regarding 2024. Many people have since interpreted this statement as an inference that Trump 2024 may be in the works.
“President Trump’s website is a great resource to find his latest statements and highlights from his first term in office, but this is not a new social media platform. We’ll have additional information coming on that front in the very near future.”
