DONALD Trump’s new Twitter account has been SUSPENDED, just one day after it was created, according to reports.
The @DJTDesk account, which was set up by his communications team to share statements, was taken down on Wednesday evening for “violating the rules.”
Trump – who boasted 88 million followers during his time in charge- was indefinitely suspended from Twitter in January, following the shocking US Capitol riot that left five dead.
This new @DJTDesk account appeared to be an innovative way to allow the former President to communicate directly with users on various social media platforms.
However, that has quickly fallen through just a day after its inception due to a “violation of rules,” according to The Mail.
Only yesterday, Trump blasted Facebook and "radical left lunatics" as another social media ban was upheld.
The decision meant that he is still unable to use and access his Facebook and Instagram accounts.
During a quickly mustered statement online he said: “Facebook, Twitter and Google were a "total disgrace and am embarrassment to our Country."
"Free Speech has been taken away from the President of the United States because the Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth, but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever before,” it read.
"The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process.”
The site's independent Oversight Board made the decision to uphold on Wednesday morning.
In a statement they said: "Given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk of violence, Facebook was justified in suspending Mr. Trump’s accounts on January 6 and extending that suspension on January 7.”
However, the board did insist that it was "not appropriate" for the board to indefinitely suspend the then-president.
"It is not permissible for Facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period, with no criteria for when or whether the account will be restored," the board determined, adding that Facebook "did not follow a clear, published procedure."
Despite keeping Trump restricted from the platform, the board ruled that "within six months of today, Facebook must review this matter and decide a new penalty."
This penalty, the board said, would have to either impose a time-limit on the suspension or delete Trump's account entirely.
Mr Trump has now been left to communicate with the public via personal statements which will be published via his new website, “From The Desk of Donald J. Trump.”
A promotional video released recently said that the new webpage will be a “beacon of freedom” in a time of '”lies and silence.”
As of Wednesday, the website has only posted the video and a collection of his recent statements.
During an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens on Tuesday night, Trump promoted new site and also lashed out at the regulators of Twitter.
“People are leaving Twitter and it's also become boring,” Trump decreed.
“Now it's become very boring, very mundane. And it's not doing well. Certainly their stock is going down.”

Sidney Powell: America is now a 'Communist regime'
One of the lawyers who fought, without a lot of success, to have evidence of fraud in the 2020 presidential election reviewed by the courts in America has delivered a harsh verdict on the state of the nation under President Joe Biden.
Why bother with Twitter when they know they will get the boot?
Waste of time and energy.
Alright FL...commence the fines.
Waste of time and energy.
BINGO. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Fake news. Not President Trump’s account.
They keep repeating that Big Lie.
This headline is fake news.
“From the Desk of Donald Trump” is its own platform and cannot be taken down.

It wasn't ours to begin with, and their business model has always been to spy on their accounts.
Telegram is available to Trump. His followers would happily follow him there.
What did Trump tweet? Something controversial and hateful like, “Hi folks”?
Their TWITTER ACCOUNT was.................
No conservative should bother with Twitter. The only way to keep an account is by making "approved" comments. Conservatives definitely need their own media.

In my opinion, getting suspended from Facebook & Twitter is a resume enhancement.
They are still lying about the ‘five dead’?
It turns out any one who died that day died of natural causes unrelated to the ‘riot’ (new definition of riot: people let into the building and walking around taking photos from within the velvet rope lines)
Except for ONE who was MURDERED BY THE CAPITAL POLICE
Just damn!!
The article doesn’t say what Twitter rule the account allegedly violated.
“Trump – who boasted 88 million followers during his time in charge- was indefinitely suspended from Twitter in January, following the shocking US Capitol riot that left five dead.”
What a giant lie.
Twitter is signing its own death warrant. I got suspended permanently on Twitter the same day that Trump was suspended back in January.
