So too were many of the political universe, which has become blurry-obsessed over the past four years, while Trump has used the medium to fire advisers, sink legislative initiatives, encourage social coercion and finally the scores of MAGA loyalists to praise, just days after hundreds of them violently stormed the Capitol.
In a statement issued by the White House, Trump said he was “negotiating with various other sites” while also looking at the possibilities of expanding our own platform in the near future. ‘But tribute poets did not disclose what plans there were. When Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr., offered a URL to those who wanted to oversee his father’s whereabouts, it was a website bought in 2009, and in recent years a place where his books were sold. . For those who did sign up, an email was sent in which his latest work: “Liberal Privilege”, is crammed.
“As you know, the election is coming up,” reads the match that took place two months ago.
For Trump, the Twitter ban was another glorious move toward the final chapter of his presidency. For the past two days, he has been reprimanded by his own assistants, reprimanded by Republicans and again threatened with indictment.
Throughout, he was unusually quiet – at first he was temporarily banned from the main social media platforms, but also unwilling to speak in front of the press. The only time the public saw him was through awkwardly edited videos of the White House. In one, he insisted that the riot would end while holding on to the fiction that the election was stolen from him. In the other, he conceded that he would not serve a second consecutive term.
There are also no plans to get out of the cocoon immediately. One White House official said there had been initial internal discussions between White House aides and Trump over a “last farewell interview.” But the official added: “I’m not sure if they are going to be carried out,” to the official’s great concern.
“I do not want the government’s lasting impression to be like what happened at the Capitol,” the official said. “We have a lot of achievements from this administration that need to be highlighted so that we can give a good final impression.”
Trump took office and boasted that he was the ‘Hemingway of 140 characters’ and especially attributed Twitter to driving his political rise. More than 56,000 tweets later, amid a futile game of Whac-A-Mole with the tech powers he despises, banished to the outer provinces of the internet.
If this is how Trump’s presidency closes, it will be a remarkable endnote. As a candidate for office, he was – at times – ubiquitous: he posted outrageous recordings on Twitter, turned on news programs on cable, and drew attention from the camera, even when the stage on which he was to campaign was empty. Now he is increasingly isolated and pulls out of the spotlight. His favorite bullhorn is gone; oh, and the presidency is too.
