Trump launches new communications platform months after Twitter, Facebook ban

The space will allow Trump to post comments, images, and videos

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 Donald J. Trump" appears on www.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.

lol... Trump's new "platform" was coded by a 10-year-old. I see several vulnerabilities that will be exploited by someone before the end of the night.

BTW since Donny's try at overthrowing our democracy got him banned from facebook and twitter
the odds that they will let his followers post his "stuff" on their platforms is like zip. Good God

Trump's new "blog" is all about the money. It even has the recurring donation box conveniently checked for you already.

I wonder what constitutes a "digital ecosystem made for efficiently managing political campaigns and organizations,"
or a "platform" in these people's view.

You could do better with an old blogspot site.
