"Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump’s suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols."

2. Presumably so they can reevaluate before the 2024 campaign.

3. NO MIDTERMS FOR YOU!

NEXT!

8. He'll be slightly more crazy by then.

9. He'll be slightly more crazy

before the day is out with this news

✌🏻

10. I think...

... this was obvious. Even if they let him back on, it would not last... he'd be banned after the first post. In two years, he will be the same... or worse. Crooked Donald will never change.

[Midnight Writer]

27. Exactly. He gives no indication he will "behave" if he is let back on.

[RainCaster]

11. BFD- two years? How about permanently?

Such bullshit on the part of FB

[StarfishSaver]

12. It is a BFD.

I'll take the two years for now.

[lark]

15. Yep, it keeps him out of the midterms.

Any day without hearing/seeing Cheetolini is a good day.

Pisses me off that they are letting him back on in time for him to run for president.

[StarfishSaver]

17. They haven't said they're letting him back in after two years

The suspension is for two years and then they'll review it again. If his behavior hasn't changed - which it surely will not - they can extend the suspension. And even if they let him back on, if he steps out of line, they can bounce him back again.

18. I don't trust FB to do the right thing, if RNC gives them another $200 million, they'll fold again.

[StarfishSaver]

24. Why look for something to complain/worry about?

Two years is a lifetime in politics.

He's off of Facebook now. That's all I care about. I'll worry about what Facebook does in two years in two years.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

25. It is a BFD,

FB won't have to put up with his bullshit for at least 2 years, and then, when he fucks up again, and we all know he will, they will probably hand down a lifetime ban.

[SergeStorms]

28. Hopefully he'll be pushing up daisies by then.

The way he lives his "life", if it can be called that, makes that a distinct possibility.

[sheshe2]

13. Good.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Hahahaha!

[ScratchCat]

19. The important part:

will only reinstate him” if the risk to public safety has receded.“

Means he isn't getting back on for more than three minutes at best.

[UTUSN]

20. Bwah!1

[Buns_of_Fire]

21. Boy, is Big Chubby gonna churn out some nasty Tweets about this!

...Oh, that's right, no he isn't!

[underpants]

22. Well there goes the youth vote

[nolabear]

23. I hope this makes him all the crazier. He's going to break at some point.

And the GQP will realize he’s no longer useful and will drop him like the loser he is. And I will smile.

[chowder66]

26. They forgot 'hundred'. nt

[Grasswire2]

29. But the page is still active, with millions of friends posting..

....and his content up to Jan. 6 is all there, goading the insurrectionists.

FB should remove the page, not just suspend his posting privileges. Check it out. I found three people I personally know are his FB followers. Two cousins and a neighbor who is a Harvard-educated attorney.

30. Bah, ha, haaaaa! 👍 It's a good start.
