Trump Breaks Twitter Hiatus With New Video Depicting Himself As Nation’s Hero

His return to the social media platform comes ahead of an interview scheduled with X owner and Trump supporter Elon Musk.
Former President Donald Trump has broken a one-year hiatus from X — the social media site formerly known as Twitter — by posting a new Hollywood-style campaign video that depicts him as the nation’s hero.
The video includes footage from the FBI raid at his Florida estate to recover classified documents and audio of Trump vowing to fight back and “obliterate the deep state.”
The Republican presidential nominee’s return to X comes ahead of an interview he has scheduled Monday night with the platform’s owner, Trump supporter Elon Musk. Trump shared a photo advertisement for the interview on his feed.
The last time Trump posted on X was Aug. 24, 2023, when he shared a photo of his mugshot after being indicted on charges that he conspired to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
Trump was banned from X for nearly two years following the 2021 insurrection. He was allowed back on after Musk purchased the platform in late 2022, though by that time, Trump had established his competing platform Truth Social, which he now routinely uses despite having far fewer followers than he does on X (7.5 million followers on Truth Social versus 88 million on X, as of Monday).
