New York (CNN Business)The blog page that former President Donald Trump launched less than one month ago, after his team suggested he'd be launching a major new social platform, has been permanently shuttered.

Jason Miller, a senior aide to Trump, told CNBC that the page "will not be returning."
Miller confirmed to CNN that the page had been scrubbed.

"It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on," Miller said.

Those who attempt to visit the page are now greeted with a web form asking for their contact information to receive updates through email or text message.

"Broader efforts we have been working on."

1. LOL at a Trump blog. What was the "content"? Stupid memes

with pics of Biden and Nancy Pelosi? General trolling of the libs? Election whining? Plenty of RW sites do that already.

20. Faux twitter

with a single user, and no means for anyone to interact with his faux tweets, other than to transfer them to facebook, twitter, or one other social media platform..

Functionally, it served solely as a means to spin out his faux tweets to a series of rapidly cancelled twitter accounts.

23. Thanks for summing it up--

how fucking pathetic.

[Demnation]

2. I'm sure he has a lot to do making ready for his big comeback in August.

3. Broader grifts we have been working on...

4. A blog takes work. trump doesn't like work.

It's easy to tweet a few words or retweet something. That's right up trump's line but that's gone, thus the blog. But that's gone now too, which is also right up trump's line. Another failure.

Any other effort they're working on won't require trump to work, write, think, oven just to sign off on someone else's work.

All he wants is to make sure he has a suitable Tee time.

21. Blog didn't really mean blog.

Just a series of faux tweets on a private platform with a single faux tweeter.

[brush]

26. Apparently that was too much work too. And trump probably didn't even write those.

[PSPS]

5. "asking for their contact information to receive ..."

... fundraising messages with the usual tiny "make my donation automatically every month" checkbox already checked.

[Mc Mike]

6. Lazy, loser, failure.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

7. And now add blogging to his long list of failures....

Dipshit Donnie can't compose a coherent sentence, much less a blog.

[groundloop]

12. HAH!!!!!!!

[ZonkerHarris]

8. Only two mistakes made: Trump thought he could write and his followers could read.

[JenniferJuniper]

11. Twitter was as much as he and they could cope with.

[JohnnyRingo]

9. "I meant to do that". hahaha

Yep, it's all just part of the bigger picture.

[robbob]

10. He doesn't want to pay somebody

to write it for him. Probably the first functionally illiterate pResident in the history of the USA.

[Lasher]

13. More likely, he owes somebody for the website and won't pay them.

Pretty much the same thing, I guess.

14. Time for trump, his clan, & all his acolytes to fade from existence into their dark abyss of torment

[BlueWavePsych]

15. Trump shuts down his blog, frustrated by its low readership.

Mr. Trump had become frustrated after hearing from friends that the site was getting little traffic and making him look small and irrelevant, according to a person familiar with his thinking.

16. I agree: I think it was money-related. People don't trust him with loans anymore.

"I'll pay you next month."
"No. Pay now, or we shut it down."

[nattyice]

17. I'm guessing the 30-day free trial with his web host ended.

[Ms. Toad]

22. The site is still there -

Just the faux twitter section is gone.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. ROFLMAO Trump thought MAGAts could read!

[olddad65]

19. It will be interesting to see what happens when this idiot is no longer 'useful' to Putin.

[IsItJustMe]

24. He should just hand it over to Fox entertainment.

They carry most of his water for him anyway.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. LOL

27. He's too fucking

lazy to have a blog. He doesn't read so he won't be able to write anything legible or coherent.

[NurseJackie]

28. There was a blog?

[bucolic_frolic]

29. The public has basically told Trump to save his breadth

Yes, I know I put a 'd' in it. Think on it again.

[Aussie105]

30. Maybe he should try running a different line of business?

The wind has gone out of firing up the Deplorables.

Something else, perhaps, to take up his time? Selling steaks, running an airline, casino?

Oh . . . never mind.
