Trump Returns To Twitter
Former US President Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been reactivated.
The account was restored after Elon Musk, Twitter’s new CEO and owner, ran a poll on the network on Friday asking users if Trump should be reinstated.
On Saturday, 51.8% voted in favour of the restoration, while 48.2% opposed it. Over 15 million people voted in the poll.
“The populace has spoken. “Trump will be reinstalled,” Musk tweeted following the election results.
Trump’s Twitter account was suspended in January 2021, following the post-2020 presidential election crisis in which a crowd of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
The news comes only days after the former president announced his intention to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. During his presidency, Trump utilized Twitter as a significant message medium to respond to various contentious tweets.
Despite this, the former President has stated that he is not looking forward to returning.
“I don’t see any reason for it,” When asked whether he planned to return to Twitter by a panel at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership gathering, the former president responded via video.
He stated he would remain with Truth Social, the program produced by his Trump Media & Technology Group firm, which he said had higher user interaction than Twitter and was performing “phenomenally well.”
