After a lull, Donald J. Trump's name reappeared on social media. In the last hours, the news was known that the former president of the United States closed the blog that he had opened after his expulsion from Facebook, Twitter and other popular platforms .
However, this does not mean that the controversial American businessman and former president is saying goodbye to the internet forever. On the contrary. The decision would be related to a possible return of Trump to social networks , although not much more is really known about it.
According to CNBC, From the Desk of Donald J. Trump was permanently terminated. This portal was simply a blog hosted on Trump's official website, and it was the Republican's first response when social networks lowered their thumbs after the assault on the Capitol in January.
The report assures that this platform failed to amass not even a fraction of the flow of followers that the former president had previously . And its closure occurred less than a month after its formal launch, which was on May 4. In fact, the blog was also under scrutiny after the suspension of several Twitter accounts that shared fragments of their publications. Donald Trump's team denied being involved or that they were affiliated users, but the social network took it as an attempt to evade the blockade imposed on the politician.

The person in charge of responding was Jason Miller, senior adviser to the former US president. “Yes, in fact it is” , he wrote in his tweet, and invited his followers to be attentive to the news.
It is clear that Donald Trump will not interact with the millions of followers he had on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. What is also evident is that his closest collaborators -who do remain active in these services- are testing the ground for a possible massive public comeback after leaving the White House.
