Could we see the return of the Commander in Tweets?
According to an Axios report, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is plotting a comeback to the blue bird after a nearly 2 1/2 year hiatus.
Trump’s account is still active, thanks to CEO Elon Musk, and he has 87 million followers.
From Axios:
As Trump tries to reclaim the White House while fighting off felony charges, people close to his team think he’ll eventually get back on Twitter — and that when he does, it will be with showmanship and a purpose.
A person close to Trump’s campaign cast the ex-president’s Twitter return as a tool his team could use to try to offset bad news — another indictment, for example.
That was the strategy this month in Miami, after Trump was arraigned on federal charges of mishandling classified documents. He blasted complaints on Truth Social, stopped by a popular Cuban restaurant, and later skewered his critics in a speech at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
“President Trump needs to make Twitter great again. I want him to get back on before the presidential campaign heats up,” says Mike Davis, a Trump ally and founder of The Article III Project, a conservative legal group.
“From a business perspective, it’s very smart he’s only on Truth. From a political perspective, he needs to be on Twitter.”
