The social media platform has become 'boring,' the former president said on Fox News' 'The Ingraham Angle'
----------------------------------
Fewer electronic messages may actually be better, former President Trump -- who was banned from Twitter in January -- said Thursday night.
In an exclusive interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," Trump said he now prefers issuing less frequent official press releases rather than being on Twitter, which he said has become "boring" since he was forced off the platform.
"What I'm doing now, I almost like it better," Trump said
"I think I do like it better," Trump continued. "We're issuing press releases. We're no longer constrained by a certain number of characters. We're no longer put under … the magnifying glass. And frankly, you do it less and you can do it better."
"We're no longer constrained by a certain number of characters. We're no longer put under … the magnifying glass."
The former president said he has plenty of options for communicating with the public other than the major social media platforms, including starting his own platform for his millions of followers, which he said he might do.
"So I put out statements now ‘from the office of’ and the statements are picked up by everybody," Trump told Laura Ingraham. "I mean, it actually works better. Now, with that being said, we may open up our own platform, but the putting out of statements, putting out almost you could call them a press release when I have something to say to talk to a lot of people, it gets to everybody. It's been very effective."

Trump told Ingraham that as opposed to tweeting, official press releases have allowed him to not have to be so “careful with every word.”
“If I put a comma in the wrong place, it becomes like he doesn’t know proper English,” he joked. “You have no idea.”
He said the press releases give him the ability to “steer” and “focus” a statement on what’s important to him.
Trump added that Twitter has become less interesting since his departure from the platform after the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
“A lot of people are leaving Twitter,” he added. “It’s become very, very boring and I’ve heard it from so many different people. So we’re off and a lot of other people are off and a lot of people are just leaving. It’s become a very boring deal.”
Agreed. Twitter = boring!!!!

I left twitter after being put in twit jail. Don’t know why, I just told Alyssa Milano what she could do with herself and the horse she rode in on, I don’t get what the big deal was :)
I am blocked by Cher.
I forget what that was about other than responding to her tweet.
Somebody has to say it.

As much as the press hates Trump they will continue to amplify her s releases because he brings ratings.
Stringy hair, lack of botox shots, and still with her attitude about the cheating during the election, made it impossible for me to stay with the interview.
I rarely, if ever, turn Trump off, but I couldn't take it last night.
I am cured from laura, unless she starts doing multiple Tijuana donkeys, we're quits.
“I just told Alyssa Milano what she could do with herself and the horse she rode in on”
I think profanity beyond a certain point would be banned by Twitter. Not that you went beyond that point as I don’t know what was in your tweet.
Twitter lost 20% of their site traffic in February and their post-ban collapse is continuing in March,
I’ll admit my tweet was vulgar, but nothing threatening. It was really no worse than the garbage the Trump haters put up. In fact given the level of depravity in HELLywood wouldn’t surprise me if she is into beastiality
“It was really no worse than the garbage the Trump haters put up.”
No doubt. You could try your spicy language on a topic that Twitter loves and see what they do.
