He’s BAAAACK!! Thank goodness. As reported on The right scoop.
Still leader of the Republican party as far as the base is concerned, President Donald J. Trump has made his first incursion back into social media since the Big Tech Purge pushed him off of Twitter and Facebook.
In his first post to the site since January 8th, President Trump uploaded his lawyer’s response to demands he testifies at his second impeachment hearing next week.
And he did it on Gab, which some say is the most hated social media platform by the Left. And why does the Left hate Gab? Because Gab honors Free Speech and is known for its far Right user base.
Trump’s Gab account previously automatically posted whatever he was tweeting. So you can see a post history there going back a while (by the way, that’s a good way to see his tweets now that the actual tweets have been nerfed.)
But this is his first NEW social media message since January 8, and looks like it’s the first time he’s used Gab for a native message, rather than a Twitter crosspost.
Newsweek is asking whether this could signal his RETURN to social media, meaning with some kind of regularity since obviously it’s a literal return to social media.
We can only hope. When Parler comes back, I hope he’s posting there, too. I personally prefer the Parler set-up, assuming they can work out some of the kinks.
I didn’t think I was so eager to read the President on social media. Well, I’m glad he’s back. God speed Mr. President.
The President’s first message since Free Speech cut him off. May there be many more. And may America experience a return of our First Amendment rights.
