Twitter Thwarts Trump's Latest Attempt To Get Back On Platform, Bans New Account

Source: HuffPost

Former President Donald Trump’s most recent attempt to get a platform has been upended.

On the heels of the launch of his new webpage, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” on Wednesday, the former president’s team created the handle @DJTDesk on Twitter. By Wednesday night, the account had been suspended.

“As stated in our ban evasion policy, we’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account,” a spokesperson for Twitter said in a statement.

Trump’s “From the Desk” page is essentially a blog with a timeline format that resembles both Twitter and Facebook’s platforms. In the site’s brief life thus far, Trump has made a series of scattered, combative posts attacking the likes of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). He also lambasted Twitter, Facebook and Google by name.

being that he's trying to wiggle around and get onto these platforms using other differently named platforms, etc. I'm surprised that he hasn't tried using his aliases, such as John Barron or John Baron but I wouldn't be surprised if he did try it eventually.

He is literally as stupid as I thought he was.

... I, too, have contemplated the, "stupid", factor in all of this. But it keeps coming down to this: "He is a con man and huckster, he will do anything and say anything for a $buck$". His lack of knowledge and understanding of government and his need for money makes it easy for him to say all kinds of, "stupid", stuff.

PS: I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist, nor do I play one on TV.

money in his pocket and nothing else. Witness the price jumps in his hotels/etc., by a factor of at least 4 times the regular or former rate (an old DU post)...

Does it even have a brain?

I'll be looking forward to the day when it is roasting in Hell's Fire.

... Maybe he should use "Lyin' Don" or "Crooked Donald" as an alias... then he would always be telling the truth - he's a crooked liar!
