Trump Announces New Communication Platform

After months of being suspended from several social media platforms, former President Donald Trump has launched his own personal media website. Titled from the Desk of Donald Trump, the platform appears on the website: www.DonaldJTrump.com/desk.

The platform is styled like that of Twitter but hosted but hosted like running length  Twitter commentary from Trump. His followers can sign up for post alert on the platform through their email and phone numbers and are able to like them. People are also enabled to share Trump's posts on Facebook and Twitter. These two social media platform currently  does not allow the sharing of Trump's posts.

It features short essay-like posts and videos, as well as links by which website users can share their posts to social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. In a video posted on the platform, Tuesday night, the new communication site is described as “A beacon of freedom, A place to speak freely and safely,”.

While there are no features on the space to enable website users to reply or engage with the president on his posts, they can make donations and also make use of the shopping feature to obtain Make American Great Again merch.

                                          

According to reports by Fox News, the site which surfaced on Tuesday appears to be powered by Campaign Nucleus— the “digital ecosystem made for efficiently managing political campaigns and organizations,” created by the President’s former campaign manager, Brad Parscale. It is also mentioned on the site that the platform is “Paid for by Save America JFC, a joint fundraising committee of Save America and Make America Great Again PAC. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. donaldjtrump.com”.

It was recalled that Trump was banned by Twitter and suspended by Facebook and You Tube after the capital riots in January. He has been a prolific poster on Twitter platform before and during his Presidency. Not backing down on his stance on the 2020 USA Presidential Elections, the twice impeached president wrote on the website, “The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!. He has also taken shots at Twitter for permanently suspending him from the micro blogging platform after a train of tweets, which were held responsible for the  Capitol riot.

“Twitter stocks “plunged” as results are no longer cutting it for investors. Shares are off 15% today. Bad forecasts are hurting the outlook but more importantly, in my opinion, it has become totally BORING as people flock to leave the site. Michael Nathanson stated, “The math doesn’t make sense” as he lowered his price target. I guess that’s what happens when you go against FREEDOM OF SPEECH! It will happen to others also.”

The platform is launched, just a day before Facebook‘s Oversight Board is expected to announce its decision on whether to indefinitely suspend the former President from Facebook and Instagram.

Speaking with Fox, President Trump’s senior adviser Jason Miller pointed out that the platform was not a social media platform. “The 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,” he added.
