Former US President Trump shuts down blog a month after launch

Trump's senior aide Jason Miller noted that the shutdown of his current blog could be a precursor to Trump joining a new social media platform.

Former US President Donald Trump’s blog page “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump '' has been removed from his website less than a month after it went live. Trump was banned from social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook following the Capitol riots on January 6 which caused multiple casualties. Social media platforms that banned Trump cited fears that his online activity could incite further violence. Trump’s senior aide Jason Miller noted that the shutdown of his current blog could be a precursor to Trump joining a new social media platform. However, the details he shared with news agencies are scarce. “It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Mille told Reuters. “I'm hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon, but I do not have a precise awareness of timing,” he added.
