After being banned from Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms, former President Donald Trump will create his own social media network in the next two to three months, according to one of his senior advisers, vowing that it “will be the hottest ticket in social media.”

Jason Miller, a spokeswoman for Trump’s 2020 campaign, told Fox News’ #MediaBuzz on Sunday that the former president will return to social media in “approximately two to three months on his own platform.”

Trump has been holding “a lot of high-powered meetings” at Mar-a-Lago with “many” corporations that have approached the former president about collaborating on a social media platform, according to Miller.

Miller stated that the new site would be “huge,” with tens of millions of users, but he didn’t disclose any specifics.

“I believe this will be the hottest ticket in social media,” Miller said on Sunday. “It will fundamentally change the game, and everyone will be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does, but it will be his own platform,” says the author.
Following the attack on the Capitol on January 6, a number of social media platforms banned the president, claiming fears about additional instigation of violence. After deciding that Trump’s tweets following the riots were “very likely to encourage and inspire people to mimic the illegal activities that occurred at the United States Capitol on January 6,” Twitter permanently disabled his account on January 8. A company review board will decide if his suspensions from Facebook and Instagram will be permanent, while his account suspension on YouTube may be removed. Except for a long speech at a conservative conference in February and a few press releases that Miller praised on Sunday as “getting almost more exposure” than anything Trump ever tweeted, Trump has generally avoided public appearances and pronouncements since leaving office.
Gab, a conservative social media network that created a Trump account that Miller said was false in February, “”If it’s run anything like the 2020 campaign, it will be a complete and total failure,” criticized Trump’s new enterprise in now-deleted tweets. There are no app shops. There are no hosting companies. There are no payment processors. There is no such thing as free speech. Best of luck!” Gab’s Twitter account looked to be inactive within minutes.
