Will Trump return to Twitter?

Elon Musk is set to spend an astounding amount of $44 billion to buy Twitter.

With this in mind, it has people wondering whether figures who were suspended from Twitter such as the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, would make a return to the platform in a bid to remove censored content, however hateful it may be. 

However, Trump recently announced the launch of a new network, in which he is the founder, called Truth Social which he described as “stand[ing] up to the tyranny of Big Tech”, according to the Independent. The launch of this new network is to counter the mainstream platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, which to more conservative users has been deemed ‘woke’ and constrictive.

It is seemingly obvious that Trump would use his comeback to Twitter to drive traffic to Truth Social, his new network, by posting ‘truths’ (posts) on the platform that cannot be published to any other social network for 6 hours, according to TechCrunch. These restrictions are likely to drive users to Truth Social, in order to gain first insight into what is on the polarising and outrageous mind of the former president.
