WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump, suspended from Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, plans to launch his own platform in two to three months, one of his senior advisers told Fox News on Sunday.

 

Jason Miller, a spokesman for Trump's 2020 campaign, told the network that Trump would re-enter the social media space with a new platform of his own that would "completely redefine the game."

 

Miller provided no further details, and no comment was immediately available from officials with the Trump Organization.

 

Twitter last week said it would seek public input on when and how it should ban world leaders, saying it was reviewing policy and considering whether the leaders should be held to the same rules as other users.

 

Twitter, Facebook and others have been under scrutiny for the way they handle accounts of politicians and government officials after their ban of Trump for inciting violence.

 

Facebook, which indefinitely suspended Trump in January, has asked its independent oversight board to decide whether the ban should stand.

Yuck thanks for the warning we’ve had enough of that bigmouth allready imo

[EVENKEEL]

Not sure why this is even news. Plenty of things going on in the world, but Trump sells. The media would be lost without Trump.

It's going to be an interesting few years coming our way

Media does fine without Trump.  Actually, much better.  Misinformation was down 75% after they banned him from Twitter.  Stunning so many fall for the fake junk.  They should go after the other fake news right wing media outlets.

As you rush to invest and commit to this fine venture, which cannot fail to become a market leader, founded as it will be on the noble principle of speaking truth to the masses, whatever you do don't ponder on what became of: Trump Steaks,

GoTrump, Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage , Trump: The Game,

Trump Magazine , Trump University, Trump Ice, The New Jersey Generals, Tour de Trump, Trump Network, Trumped! ,Trump Taj Mahal, Trump’s Castle, Trump Plaza Casinos, Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts, Trump Entertainment Resorts.

 

I may have missed some - but then it is rather a long list of business failures and bankruptcies.

 

I wonder if all who invested in these absolute money spinners ever saw any money back?

Boggles my mine why anyone would want to listen to lies, hate speech, bashing of others.  Why?  Gotta have a screw loose somewhere.

Misinformation may be down in one direction, but check out the ratings.  CNN's are in the toilet.

Fox news ratings were way down also.  CNN and MSNBC actually took over 1st and 2nd place for a bit.

It's on tape.  Hardly debunked.  Unless you're a MAGA member and are OK with fake news and misinformation.

But you said (and I'm quoting here) "media does fine".  Which is it?  Because I've never considered a slump to be fine.

A slump with Fox News is more than fine.  Less misinformation and hate speech is a good thing.  Right?

No back pedaling.  Readership was up at several media sites due to Trump.  NYT had some banner years.  So did Fox.  Trump was an extremely divisive figure that made news every day.  Mostly bad news.  Some loved it, most hated it.

 

In the end, misinformation is down.  I hope you agree that's a good thing???
