Twitter upholds permanent ban: No hope of Trump ever returning to platform

Trump has yet to resurface on any social media platform, are we in the clear?

The proverbial nail in the Twitter coffin for Trump has finally been pounded home. Based on a statement from a Twitter spokesperson, once you are removed from the platform, you are removed, with no exceptions. So that means, regardless of his potential future run for president in 2024, it has been confirmed, Trump will never be allowed to share a rant via a tweet. 

Of course, if the current impeachment trial in the Senate is successful in one of its aims, he will also be banned forever from seeking public office.

Trump had his Twitter account permanently suspended back on Jan. 6 following the Capitol riots.  Other social media platforms followed suit with freezes of Instagram, Facebook and Shopify, even his accounts on Snapchat and Twitch.

During an interview with CNBC, Twitter CFO, Ned Segal, spoke in detail, confirming that Trump will not be allowed back on the platform, ever. 

“When you’re removed from the platform, you’re removed from the platform, whether you’re a commentator, you’re a CFO, or you are a former or current public official,” said Segal. “Remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence. And if anybody does that, we have to remove them from the service, and our policy is not to allow people to come back.”
