The world collectively rejoiced when Trump was permanently banned on Twitter after one too many code violations. But did we really think he’d go down without a fight? Of course not. Shortly after his ban, he was back at it again on the POTUS account, wreaking havoc.
On Thursday, Twitter issued a 12 hour block on Trump’s account following the Pro-Trump insurrection and the five casualties that resulted from it. On Saturday, his account was permanently banned “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
Not even two hours later, Trump found a loop hole (or so he thought) and because he is still ~technically~ the owner of the official @POTUS account, he took it upon himself to have a little tanty at Twitter for banning him.
The tweets were immediately deleted, because the tiny-handed man isn’t as smart as he would like to think. The four tweets were then collated into a statement and sent to reporters.
A copy of the statement sent to US reporter Hans Nichols was published to Twitter.

“As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me – and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me,” he wrote in the series of tweets.
“Twitter may be a private company, but without the government’s gift of Section 230 they would not exist for long.
“I predicted this would happen. We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future. We will not be SILENCED!
“Twitter is not about FREE SPEECH. They are all about promoting a Radical Left platform where some of the most vicious people in the world are allowed to speak freely.
“STAY TUNED.”
Some people just want to watch the world burn. Donald Trump is undeniably one of them.
