Donald Trump Banned From Facebook, Instagram and Twitter

Made in JamaicaJanuary 9, 2021

Outgoing United States President Donald Trump has been deemed as dangerous by Twitter, and as such his account has been permanently been deactivated.

The stern actions by the social media platform, came just after his account was first suspended due to the January 6 riots, that took place at the Capitol building which even left casualties including a police officer.

The ban was placed on his account on Friday permanently, after Facebook and Instagram also took actions, removing the former President’s account from their platforms.

The accusations are that the president has been seen to be inciting violence due to what was happening at the capitol, so with two tweets directed to the situation that was taking place, Twitter decided that it was the last straw for Mr Trump.

It was not a case where the actions were taken up spontaneously against him, as he was pretty much warned what would happen if he decided to continue tweeting about the riots, however, he decided to go ahead and do his thing.

In his second to the last tweet, he posted “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”.

He then went at it again by letting it known publicly on the social platform, that he would not be attending the inauguration ceremony, something that no president has done in 150 years of United States history.

After seeing those bold tweets by Donald Trump, and the fact that the other platforms did not wait to remove him permanently, Twitter that he held so dear to him removed him without any second thought.

The former president is said to still have an account active on the social media platform, however, it is the less popular of the two he had.

Trump had over 88 million followers on twitter.
