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.
