Former President Donald Trump is considering joining a new social media platform but stated he might create his own—coming after he was suspended by Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other Big Tech websites last month.
In an interview with Newsmax on Wednesday night—one of his first since leaving office—the former commander-in-chief said he is weighing his options after Twitter moved against him.
“We’re negotiating with a number of people, and there’s also the other option of building your own site. Because we have more people than anybody. I mean you can literally build your own site,” Trump said, adding that he is considering building his own platform.
“I really wanted to be somewhat quiet. They wanted me very much on Parler, you know they had a phony report that the man who was in there didn’t–I mean just the opposite, they really wanted me on Parler,” Trump said, referring to statements made by Parler’s former CEO John Matze.
However, he speculated that Parler would not be able to handle the amount of traffic he would bring to the website. “Mechanically, they can’t handle” the number of users, Trump noted in the interview.
Trump added that “if you look at what’s going on with Twitter, I understand it’s become very boring and millions of people are leaving. They’re leaving it because it’s not the same, and I can understand that.” Before his account was deleted, Trump had one of the most followed Twitter accounts and generated a significant amount of engagement.
Earlier this month, Jason Miller, one of Trump’s advisers, said the former president is deciding on how to reemerge on social media.
“I would expect that we will see the president reemerge on social media,” Miller told Breitbart News on Feb. 6.

Maybe he’ll reveal his healthcare plan at the same time.
That’s coming during infrastructure week.

Seems like this is just negotiating. He’ll end up on Parler is my guess.

He will do something wonderful.
Yup! It’s how all things Trump-branded start and nearly all collapse at the end. About 20 bankrupt companies, his presidency, heck even his Trump hotel in Atlantic City was demolished a few days ago. 55555

I’m just saying, those who think Trump will start his own media platform, or political party, or social media site...should be aware of his track record of failure.

Yes, I have his track record in mind when I wrote that I hope he will start his own site/platform.

I believe that he will go back and forth and what he will do.
This will maximize the interest and press news about him.
