Former President Donald Trump returns to Facebook after an over two-year ban from the social media platform.
Former President Donald Trump stunned the social media world on Friday with his first Facebook post since the Big Tech platform banned him after Jan. 6, 2021.
The former president had a little fun with his big return, which will undoubtedly make waves as he pulls out all the stops on his quest to once again win the Republican Party nomination to make a third run for the White House.
“I’M BACK,” Trump wrote. He attached a video clip that added some humor to his announcement. The clip was from when he was elected president in 2016, flanked by former Vice President Mike Pence and his son, Barron Trump.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business, complicated,” the former president said in the video to a round of applause from those in attendance at his acceptance speech.
As reported at the time, Facebook (now Meta) CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the decision to temporarily ban the president, citing the need to help facilitate a “peaceful transition of power.”
“The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden,” Zuckerberg wrote, according to Reuters.
