(Image via Twitter)At the same time, it is still unclear whether Donald Trump will be back on the platform. This is also because a few days back, Trump rejected the idea of him coming back on Twitter by saying:“I don't see any reason for it.&quot;Donald Trump was banned from Twitter in January 2021 after supporters beached the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, saying that his tweets broke its rules against glorifying violence. At the time, the company had also issued a statement stating how Twitter had decided to suspend Trump’s account. The statement read:“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”Trump's account was suspended on January 8, 2021, following which Twitter issued a statement on their website. (Image via Twitter)After his exit from all social media platforms, Donald Trump and some of his allies launched a rival social media site called Truth Social. However, the social media platform is relatively new and does not have as good a reach as the popular ones, Twitter and Instagram.Moreover, with the upcoming US Presidential election in 2024, Trump could use the platform greatly and effectively. However, it is still unclear whether or not the former President will make his comeback.
