The White House backed Facebook’s decision to suspend former President Donald Trump for two years, predicting he is unlikely to drop the sharp rhetoric that led to his initial ban from social media platforms.

The social media giant announced Friday Trump would be suspended for two years, retroactive to his Jan. 7 suspension from Facebook and Instagram due to his role leading up to the Capitol riot the previous day. That means the Republican stalwart could return to both sites by early 2023 — potentially in the heat of a GOP presidential primary fight and as the party’s front-runner if he decides to run again. However, it would still deprive the party of its most robust voice during the 2022 midterm elections on the platforms.

But President Joe Biden’s top spokeswoman doubts Trump will do enough over the coming months to earn his way out of the ban.

"Feels pretty unlikely that the zebra is going to change his stripes over the next two years,” press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday. “We’ll see."

Can you imagine if the tables were turned and the Trump White House backed let's say Obama or Biden being banned on major social media.

The media would be screaming Trump was a communist dictator stopping free speech. The Biden WH is the CCP wanting Trump banned.

Meanwhile turncoat Pence at a speech in NH running for President said he sticks by Jan 6th and not one word about banning free speech of a former President Trump.

Pence was placed to take Trump's place when they tried so hard to oust him. Does Pence think he has a chance?

Trump needs to do absolutely nothing to "earn his way back." These folks act like being on Facebook is the gold standard or something stupid like that.

When you get banned by FB, you know you did something right.

I wonder if the White House has had any communications with Facebook regarding Trump's suspension?

Pence is borderline retarded if he thinks he would actually be the nominee.

I wish Trump would just drop FaceCrook. I’ll never understand why people bitch about it yet still use it

Biden has some former big tech yahoos in his administration. The swamp is deeper and wider than ever.

So they’ve “sentenced” him?

What a joke.

If you haven’t already, walk away from Facebook and Instagram.

1. It’ll do wonders for your psyche.

2. They will lose revenue since you are the product.

Its not that hard....no real good alternative. FB is primed to be hit hard. Nothing more to do with it. A good alternative can easily get 10-15 million customers based on being a conservative alternative. And have a campaign where they all delete fb on the same day. Heck have 5m people drop fb in a day would be a signal.

One that could also find a way to help save/transfer their FB history/contacts/pics would be a major plus.

Why would the White House care what muh private companies do to actively silence the single most influential political voice until after the midterm elections? Mmmmmmm....

Sounds like coordinated campaign finance activities in order to influence the midterm elections to me. I guess Facebook's not changing its stripes any time soon.

Let them keep on. When the Republicans take power again and decide to shut down Facebook and Twitter just because they can I don't want to hear a peep out of them.

There will be grounds, "Trumped" up, and when it happens Jack Dorsey Zuck and all the gang can kiss our collective asses. they have it coming to them.

And in 2 years when Trump is ramping up his political efforts, whatever they may support, Facebook will extend the ban so as not to allow him to use their platform for free publicity. Bank on it.
