Will Donald Trump launch his own social media app? 'Stay tuned' tweet sparks wild theories: 'It’s called Bitter'
After several warnings and a 12-hour ban on January 6, 2021, Twitter finally blocked and deleted President Donald Trump's account. The suspension news on January 8, 2021, came as a huge shock and led to much controversy on the micro-blogging platform. However, Trump soon found a way to slam Twitter through his official POTUS account.
In the four-tweet thread, Trump claimed that Twitter was not a network for "free speech" and hinted that he was now in talks to set up his own social media platform following his suspension. He urged his followers to 'STAY TUNED!' and claimed that Twitter was working with 'Radical Left and Dems' to silence him and to silence those who voted for him.
"As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me," he tweeted. He further wrote: “We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.”
