Former President Donald Trump said he was not interested in returning to Twitter after he was permanently banned from the platform last month.
“It’s become very boring. We don’t want to go back to Twitter,” Trump told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on Wednesday. “I’ll tell you, it’s not the same. If you look at what’s going on with Twitter, I understand that it’s become very boring and millions of people are leaving.”
Trump, who has been one of the most active presidents on social media, was permanently suspended from Twitter following the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol. The targeted policing of Trump’s posts occurred throughout his presidency and ramped up following the Nov. 3 election, when the former president and his team repeatedly joined entreaties to independently review the integrity of the results in several states.
Twitter justified its censorship by claiming that the president had violated its “Glorification of Violence Policy” after he posted a message urging protesters to remain peaceful and leave the Capitol. The company has also removed many other accounts, mainly conservative personalities and voices, on the ground of harmful speech.
Twitter CFO Ned Segal said earlier this month that Trump would not be allowed on the platform again after he was removed.
“If you are removed from the platform, you are removed from the platform,” Segal said, adding that the ban applies “whether you’re a commentator, you’re a CFO, or whether you are a former or current public official.”
Trump also expressed his frustration while using the platform, criticizing the platform’s “flagging” of his posts on content that they claim to be disputed such as election fraud claims.

DANG!
LOL
Twitter is nothing more than a cesspool of negativity.
HOORAY POTUS! Cancel twits 😎
LMAO. Trump made Twitter, and now he’s gone.
Mr. President.
A (huge) number of Americans enthusiastically support you.
Compete with Twitter.
Do it. Start a competitor.
I love my President.
I agree!
BTW, I would like to request a membership.
:)
It's an open sewer of Leftwing hate.
Twitter management allows the Left to dehumanize Trump supporters by calling them "Magats".
This glorification of violence against Trump supporters goes unchallenged daily.
Good.
twitter was embarrassing when he posted. twitter is embarrassing after he stopped posting. twitter is embarrassing.
And, to finish the grammar lesson, Twitter will be embarrassing.
I stand corrected.
When you have the most listened-to voice in the world, you don’t need them. They need you, Mr President.
Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Amazon and Google, all believe that if they ‘cancel’ Trump, that Trump will become irrelevant and unheard, and will go away. In actuality, he’s making them irrelevant to him, and they’ll have to ‘publish’ whatever he says and does, in the next 4 years and when he becomes president again.
I shut my account down January 7. SHUT IT DOWN if you are on Twitter.
I want a better alternative.
I don’t want to lose something. I want to UPGRADE.
