Trump permanently shuts down his social media site after a month; may join another

Donald Trump has permanently closed his blog, a webpage where the former US president shared his fiery speeches and statements after being banned by social media giants, including Facebook and Twitter. The page titled ‘From the Desk of Donald J. Trump’ has been removed from Trump’s website after going live less than a month earlier, his spokesperson Jason Miller told CNBC news on Wednesday.

“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said, adding that the webpage “will not be returning”.

“Hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon, but I do not have a precise awareness of timing,” Miller said.
