Trump ends blog ‘From The Desk of’ that replaced his Twitter – less than a month after launch

DONALD Trump’s blog has been permanently shut down, according to a top aide.

“From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” has been removed less than a month after it went live – and senior staffer Jason Miller confirmed it “will not be returning” on Wednesday.

“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller told CNBC after Trump had used the platform to post lengthy statements after his social media ban.

Miller declined to go into detail about these “efforts” but said he is “hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon, but I do not have a precise awareness of timing.”

After MAGA fans stormed the US Capitol on January 6 and forced members of Congress to hide, the former president was prevented from posting on Facebook and Twitter.

However, Trump allies have repeatedly claimed that Big Tech is censoring right-wing commentators and accused Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey of silencing them.

Trump’s alternative blog was initially described as a new “communications platform.”

Miller said the blog site was “a great resource” but clarified that “this is not a new social media platform.”
