Former President Donald Trump's YouTube channel will remain suspended, the online video platform said Tuesday.

YouTube suspended Trump's official channel on Jan. 12 from uploading new content for at least a week, at the time citing the potential for violence following the deadly Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol.

"In light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, the Donald J. Trump channel will remain suspended," YouTube said in a statement to USA TODAY. "Our teams are staying vigilant and closely monitoring for any new developments."

The suspension prevents the uploading of new videos or livestreams to the channel. Comments on the channel, which has nearly 2.8 million subscribers, are also disabled indefinitely.

4. I agree. By then it was all falling apart for him, he was his own undoing - and he knew it

The man was always a lucky duck: everyone handed him everything he needed; always paid his debts and cleaned up his messes for him.

But in the end, he was his own worst enemy.

His life was practically a Shakespearean tragedy - part Richard III, part MacBeth, part Lear.

None of them ever listened either.

5. They need to do something about comments sections in other videos also

Not just YouTube but all social media.
