YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump is back on Twitter, though not in the way that he had wanted. A new account has opened up that only reposts Donald Trump's messages that he posts on Truth Social, and it isn't yet known who is running this account. Previous attempts like this to skirt Twitter's bans have resulted in more bans for other users, but so far the company has not taken action to remove the new account. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Well folks, it appears that some not unintelligent, Trump supporters have found a way to get Donald Trump back on Twitter. They have created a new account called president Donald J Trump's truth, social posts, and they do exactly that. They get on Twitter. They take screenshots of what Donald Trump has posted on truth social, because apparently he's using it now. And then they post that screenshot to Twitter. So it's like Donald Trump is back. And of course they're ending every tweet with please like and retweet. So where the hell is Twitter in all of this, right? Donald Trump was banned. We have seen other people that have been banned in the past. Other accounts have come up in trying to post their other social media posts on there to circumvent a band. And then those accounts also end up getting banned in the process, but Twitter's done nothing. This account has been up since April.

They have more than 210 posts now with posts from Donald Trump's truth, social. So it is again like Donald Trump is back on Twitter, even though he is supposed to be banned for the rest of his life. And I think this is actually why, by the way, Donald Trump has started using truth social. Now, there is no indication at the moment that this account was created or is run by anybody in Trump's circle or by Trump himself. Like there's no evidence of that. So don't get me wrong. But now that they know this is happening, because obviously this is a story, it gives Trump more incentive to start posting more on truth, social, which again he is, because now he knows it's gonna make its way over the Twitter via this account. Liz Harrington, his spokesperson has also been doing this for, you know, about a year or so now with Donald Trump's little statements that he issues down from Malago and both of these accounts are still running.

They're circumventing this ban and Twitter's just sitting there saying, ah, whatever, we don't even care. And I think there's a reason for that. I think at this point with the whole Elon Musk drama with Twitter saying, no, I wouldn't ban anybody. I'd let Trump back on. I think Twitter's afraid to make the move. I think Twitter is afraid to ban anybody right now because they don't want to give Elon Musk any more fuel for his fire. Even though his deal is apparently falling apart. Because as he claims, at least 20% of users on Twitter are bots and he was promised there'd be fewer than 5%. So if he backs out of the deal, he still owes them a billion dollars, but it is what it is. And I think Twitter is still scared. I think Twitter doesn't want to get involved in any kind of hostile takeover from any other crazed billionaires out there. So they're trying to lay low and they're gonna let this account continue. That's gonna spread Trump's lies. It's gonna continue boosting him up and Twitter's gonna sit there because now they're too afraid to do anything about their own rules.
