Trump launches new communications platform months after Twitter, Facebook ban

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump on Tuesday launched a communications platform, which will eventually give him the ability to communicate directly with his followers, after months of being banned from sites like Twitter and Facebook.
The platform, "From the Desk of" appears on DonaldJTrump.com/desk.
The space will allow Trump to post comments, images, and videos.
The technology appears to be powered by Campaign Nucleus— the "digital ecosystem made for efficiently managing political campaigns and organizations," created by his former campaign manager, Brad Parscale.
The space allows Trump to post, and allows followers to share the former president’s posts to Twitter and Facebook, however, the new platform does not have a feature to allow users to "reply" or engage with Trump’s posts.
"This is just a one-way communication," one source familiar with the space told Fox News. "This system allows Trump to communicate with his followers."
Trump’s new platform surfaced Tuesday, after advisers had told Fox News that the former president planned to "move forward" to create a social media platform of his own after being banned from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat after the Capitol riot.
It unclear, at this point, if this platform is part of those plans, or if there is a separate project underway.
The rollout of the platform also comes just a day before Facebook's Oversight Board is expected to announce its decision on whether to indefinitely suspend Trump from Facebook and Instagram.
The board in January accepted a case referral from Facebook to examine the ban, as well as to provide policy recommendations on suspensions when the user is a political leader.
Facebook moved to block Trump "indefinitely" after the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg saying that they "believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great."

This is Trump’s short term solution.

Wish he'd pick a longterm solution so we could all be Gab-bing there.

Thanks for protecting us from ourselves dear overlord robot man "I know better than thou" Mark Zuckerberg.
Soy dicks like him are the real enemies of the country.
ETA: And this statement by Zuck is admitting that Trump and his supporters are more powerful than Facebutt. And he can't allow that.

Smart of him to announce it before Facebook makes their announcement which will no doubt be banishment. I expect the losers at Facebook to use their favorite buzzwords like “democracy” and “white supremacy” to justify banning Trump.

Its hilarious that he still has the FB and twitter links on each of his posts there 
Clicking those links should bring people to some page remarking on the 1st Amendment or something.

What is hilarious about that? It is just a reflection of the extent to which big tech dominates the market.

Its just funny that he's banned on those and keeps them up. Whether that is intentional/by design or not to troll, its still funny to me.

For sure. Especially since he is looking at running in 24. I'm sure he's riding a fine line here with election law. Also takes a while to build out an alternative, so something to build on, while being able to communicate. Until those social media sites ban to reposts.

I wonder if this site can get integrated with it where it auto creates a new thread on this board each time he pushes something out. Ha

He's running. Watch how he answers Candace O's question: LINK

I think he missed the boat.
It should be “From the desk of” and he should onboard all conservative politicians and conservative voices. It would be a defacto requirement to run for office as a Republican voice.
The amount of leverage he’d hold would be monumental.
