Rumors have circled for months that Trump may start his own social media network after his ban from Facebook and Twitter.
Trump’s adviser and spokesman, Jason Miller has confirmed this in a new interview with Fox News. Miller says President Trump will start his own social media platform and be back to posting in as little as 2-3 months. This is great news for conservatives worldwide who have all felt the absence of Trump’s social media presence, including the leftist media whose numbers have plummeted since the election.
Although Miller did not give specifics on what the platform would entail, he did state it would “redefine the game” and attract tens of millions of people. The platform would appeal to conservatives who have experienced the bias and bans on social media against conservative ideologies.
Trump is currently banned from multiple social media sites including Facebook and Twitter, who are likely losing millions of daily interactions because of this. Primetime news is also suffering without the former president.
Prior to Trump’s Twitter suspension, he had amassed a whopping 90 Million followers. Possibly Twitter, and the whole of Big Tech, felt the resonance of his words with American nation wide. Youtube, Twitch and Snapchat are a few more sites that have banned Trump.
Miller told Fox News on Sunday he expects Trump to “[return] to social media in two or three months” with “his own platform” that will “completely redefine the game” and attract “tens of millions” of users.”
Though he didn’t elaborate on details, the excitement ensues while conservatives wait for the free speech platform.
Following the Twitter suspension, the former president has chosen to release statements via advisers and email. These emails include midterm 2022 candidate elections.
Miller also said the Trump still holds a considerable amount of sway in the Republican Party.
“He’s already had over 20 senators, over 50 members of Congress call … or make the pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago,” he said. “Pay attention to Georgia on Monday,” as there is a “big endorsement coming.”
In an interview last month, Trump said he is “negotiating with a number of people, and there’s also the other option of building your own [social media] site.” He added, “Because we have more people than anybody. I mean you can literally build your own site.”
“I really wanted to be somewhat quiet. They wanted me very much on Parler, you know they had a phony report that the man who was in there didn’t—I mean just the opposite, they really wanted me on Parler,” Trump continued.
When asked about Parler during this same interview Trump said they “mechanically, they can’t handle” the number of users Trump would bring.
During last week’s interview Trump also said he wasn’t sure if he would be running for president in 2024.
“First thing is for us, we have to see what we could do with the House,” Trump said. “I think we have a very good chance at taking back the House. We were going to lose 15-25 seats the last time, [until] I got involved. I worked very hard.”
