Donald Trump’s return on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
Earlier this year, Facebook parent Meta said that it would be restoring Trump ’s personal account, ending the suspension it imposed in the wake of the January 6 insurrection, when Trump’s supporters violently stormed the US Capitol. His access was restored to Facebook and Instagram on February 9, the company confirmed.
Facebook had been both a publicity tool and a crucial source of fundraising revenue for both of Trump’s previous campaigns.
In November last year, Elon Musk reinstated Trump’s Twitter account but he is yet to use it. Trump now uses Truth Social, his own social media app.
