Donald Trump blog page reportedly shuts down for good
Former President Donald Trump’s blog — where he shared statements on a webpage after larger social media companies banned him — has been permanently shut down, his spokesman told CNBC on Wednesday.
“From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” has been scrubbed from the former president’s website after going live about a month earlier. It “will not be returning,” senior aide Jason Miller told CNBC on Wednesday.
“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said in an email to CNBC.
When Trump was banned in January, he had tens of millions of followers on Twitter and millions more on Facebook.
Trump’s blog struggled to engage audiences, NBC News reported, citing data compiled with BuzzSumo.
Since leaving office, Trump has made a handful of in-person appearances and has done interviews with only friendly media outlets.
