New Delhi: After getting his Twitter handle suspended, former US president Donald Trump posted a brief message on his social media platform Truth Social for the first time saying “I’M BACK!”
Trump broke his silence nearly two months after founding the app as Elon Musk sealed a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter.
In Thursday’s message, called a “truth” on the app, Trump wrote, “I’M BACK! #COVFEFE”, referencing a typo on a Twitter message he sent while president that complained about the press and was widely memed.
He was banned from Twitter last year citing a risk of further violence following the January 6, 2021 siege by a pro-Trump mob on the US Capitol.
Republicans cheered Musk’s buyout of the social media platform in the hope that the Tesla Inc Chief Executive, who has vowed to relax content moderation practices to restore free speech, will invite Trump back to the site.
Since the deal was announced this week, Trump has said he would not return to Twitter.
