Social media celebrates Donald Trump’s online comeback.

Social Media Explodes as Former President Donald Trump Returns to X

Social ‍media ‍users went ⁤into a frenzy when former President Donald ‍Trump⁣ made his ‍long-awaited‌ return to X, the platform formerly known⁣ as Twitter.

It had been over a⁤ year since Trump⁢ last posted on X, having been banned from the ‍platform in the aftermath of the events on January 6, 2021. Although his​ account was reinstated when Elon Musk took over the platform in November 2022, Trump ⁢had chosen to remain active on his own social media site,​ Truth Social.

Trump’s Memorable Comeback Post

Trump’s first‌ post on X featured a mug⁤ shot ⁤of himself, which ⁢had been released by the Fulton County⁤ Sheriff’s Office. ⁣Alongside the photo, he included ⁢the date, a link to his fundraising⁢ site, and the powerful phrase, “ELECTION INTERFERENCE. NEVER SURRENDER!”

Elon ⁤Musk, the current owner of‍ X, couldn’t help but express his admiration for⁣ Trump’s post, simply​ commenting, “Next level.”

“Cowards indict their opponents,” remarked Senator Mike Lee (R-UT). “Leaders just lead.”

Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who also had a mug⁢ shot of ⁣his own, chimed in with a lighthearted comment, saying, “All the best ⁢people have mug shots.” Byrne’s arrest in 2013 for attempting to ⁤bring a handgun through airport ⁤security‍ was a memorable incident.

Furthermore, Byrne had been present in a crucial meeting in the Oval Office on December 18, 2020, ​where strategies for overturning the results⁤ of⁢ the ​2020 ⁣election were discussed. The ‌meeting included Trump, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, ‍attorney ⁢Sidney Powell, and other White⁤ House ‍staff.

“I stand with [Donald Trump!] ⁢The political witch-hunt has to stop,” declared suspended Texas Attorney⁤ General Ken Paxton. ⁣”Safe, secure elections matter, and you always have the right to question them.”

“If liberals ⁣really ⁢believed ⁣in democracy, they’d make⁢ their points‍ on the campaign trail ‍instead of⁤ the ⁣courtroom,” expressed ⁤Young⁣ America’s‍ Foundation President Scott Walker. “Truth is, they⁣ don’t want people to even have a chance to vote ‌for ⁢ [Trump].”

Trump’s ‌Return Sparks a Surge in​ Followers

Since ‌his account reinstatement, Trump had been steadily losing followers on X. However, with ⁣his highly anticipated comeback post, he ‍gained over 160,000 followers in just ‌one day. By midday⁣ Friday, that‌ number ​had soared to over 260,000.

The 2024 Republican Presidential Nomination

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, Trump finds​ himself facing ‌off against 13 opponents for the Republican nomination. The⁢ big question remains: If ‌he ​doesn’t secure⁢ the nomination, will Trump consider running as​ a⁣ third-party candidate? After all, he had previously‌ refused to sign the⁢ Republican ‌National Committee’s loyalty ​pledge.
