Donald Trump is preparing the ground for the 2024 presidential campaign and wants to reinvest Twitter and Facebook. He would be ready for this to get rid of his own Truth Social network.
Is it soon the end of Truth Social, Donald Trump’s social network? The former US president is setting the stage for his 2024 presidential election campaign with a resounding return to major platforms. But such an action would involve Donald Trump sabotaging Truth Social, the social network he himself founded, reports the American media RollingStone.
Donald Trump launched Truth Social in February 2022, a few months after being banned from Twitter and Facebook. He then denounced the censorship of other platforms and their attack on freedom of expression.
When Donald Trump founded the Trump Media & Technology Group incorporating Truth Social, he agreed to an “exclusivity clause” that required him to wait six hours to resume a Truth Social post before posting the same message on social media. .
This exclusivity will end next June but Donald Trump would still be required to publish at the same time on Truth Social. According to sources close to the former president interviewed by the American media, he would be ready to put an end to his own network so as not to have to undergo these new constraints.
First tweets
This would allow him to return to Twitter, the network that had ensured much of his popularity. Although he was banned after the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Twitter, now owned by billionaire Elon Musk, reinstated the account in November. But Donald Trump then announced that he would stay on Truth Social. Nevertheless, as the American channel points out NBC Newshe would have already asked his close team what they think of a return to Twitter.
According to sources familiar with the matter, interviewed by RollingStonethe team is already busy thinking about Donald Trump’s first tweets for his return to the platform: a campaign video, insults addressed to Joe Biden or even Donald Trump comparing himself to Superman would be in the pipes.
On the Facebook side, his campaign team asked Facebook on January 18 to restore the account. The social network said it would make a decision “in the coming weeks, in accordance with the process we have defined”, according to a spokesperson for Meta at Rolling Stone. If his account is reinstated, the former president will face a new, stricter moderation process.
