just a month agoWASHINGTON "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump" is no longer.
The former president has shut down a blog he created just a month ago, opting instead to post his increasingly frequent written statements on his traditional website, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Trump had used the short-lived blog as an alternative to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites that banned him because of his constant false statements about last year's election loss to President Joe Biden.
Trump spokesman Jason (Balloonhead) Miller said the blog, entitled "From The Desk of Donald J. Trump," was designed to be temporary as the organization develops its own social media site.

(77,862 posts)Trump Slides Toward Online Irrelevance
May 22, 2021 at 4:22 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
On the Internet, former president Donald Trump is sliding toward something he has fought his entire life: irrelevance, the Washington Post reports.
Online talk about him has plunged to a five-year low. Hes banned or ignored on pretty much every major social media venue. In the last week, Trumps website including his new blog, fundraising page and online storefront attracted fewer estimated visitors than the pet-adoption service Petfinder and the recipe site Delish.
Social engagement around Trump a measure of likes, reactions, comments or shares on content about him across Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Pinterest has nosedived 95 percent since January, to its lowest level since 2016.

Raging, blaming, pooping his pants, making malaria clean it...his people out here pushing for a coup are the ones to keep a close eye on...flynn, bannon. But I'm going to keep the faith and think our administration has a handle on these seditious clowns. That they know being civil with the enemy is no way to go anymore.

Okay, not really.
