Donald Trump has returned to X, which implemented a permanent ban on him while it was still known as Twitter, just in time for the 2024 presidential election.
In January 2021, he was suspended by the social media platform due to his public comments about the Capitol riots and alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election won by President Joe Biden.
Although he was reinstated to the platform in November 2022—after billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk bought the company and rebranded it as X, a beacon of free speech—the former president only posted on the site in recent weeks, leading up to his highly anticipated yet somewhat disappointing interview with Musk.
And his infamous fiery posts returned only on Sunday August 25, when Trump took to X to write a handful of posts belittling his opponent Kamala Harris and the Democratic party. It marks the longest posting spree that Trump has shown on the platform since he shared his thoughts on January 6, 2021, prior to his suspension.
Over the weekend, just before noon, Trump addressed rising tension in the Middle East, wondering “who is negotiating” in that crisis, on behalf of the United States. He added that there are bombs being dropped “all over the place” while “Sleepy Joe”—his infamous nickname for the sitting president—is spending his time on a “beach in California.”
The former president also said that Biden has been “viciously exiled” by his own party while his “Comrade Kamala” has gone on the campaign trail with “Tampon Tim.” He was referring to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who is notorious for promoting stocking tampons even in boys’ bathrooms. Trump called on Americans to “not have World War III” which he said is “where we’re heading” if Democrats keep the White House.
Less than 30 minutes later, the former president described the upcoming election as “the most important day in the history of America,” writing this message in all capital letters. An hour later, he added in a separate post that Harris being elected would lead to “no future” for the country, will lead it to nuclear war, and will “never be respected” by dictators whom he described as the “tyrants of the world.”
