And there he goes again. The first seriously 21st-century president who made an art form out of using social media in winning and running his presidency is now back on the road using the world wide web yet again.
Here’s the headline from Breitbart:
Donald Trump Launches Website to Communicate Online with Supporters
Here’s the official announcement direct from the Trump post-presidency office, link to the new site included:
– March 29, 2021 –
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
President Donald J. Trump and Mrs. Melania Trump are pleased to announce the launch of 45Office.com. The official website of the 45th President of the United States will allow individuals to submit correspondence, scheduling requests, and press inquiries for President and Mrs. Trump.
President and Mrs. Trump are continually strengthened by the enduring spirit of the American people, and they look forward to staying in touch.
This website includes the ability to communicate with the former president. Breitbart notes this as well:
“Anyone can submit correspondence, scheduling requests, and press inquiries for Donald or Melania Trump through the website.
One section of the website even allows supporters to request a personalized greeting from the president and the first lady to mark a special occasion.
The list of occasions the Trumps could send greetings for includes birthdays, graduations, retirements, weddings, condolences, the birth of a new child, or military retirement.”
And there is more coming, as indicated in this story from The New York Post:
Donald Trump returning to social media in 2-to-3 months with own platform: aide
Reports The Post:
“Former President Donald Trump will make a triumphant return to social media within the next few months — and with his own service that will ‘completely redefine the game,’ his top adviser said Sunday.
Jason Miller told Fox News’ “Media Buzz” that the former commander-in-tweet will be back online in two to three months, and will launch a new platform that he claimed would attract tens of millions of users. ‘I do think we’re going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months here with his own platform,’ Miller said. ‘This is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media.’
‘It’s going to completely redefine the game, and everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does, but it will be his own platform,’ Miller said.”
In short? All those media-types that thought the former President would somehow disappear were wrong.
Typically, in a first for former presidents, Trump will invent his own social media service that doesn’t depend on the anti-Trump bosses of Silicon Valley. That is hugely significant, and not simply for the former president.
What we are seeing unfold in real-time is the work-around of Big Tech, the first real blow to their monopoly. The censorship, the cancel culture and more that have come to typify Twitter, Facebook and the rest will finally meet their match in Donald Trump.
Get the popcorn.
