Former President Donald Trump has made good on his threat to create a new communications platform for himself after being banned by the Silicon Valley tech giants.

Titled “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” the site appears at DonaldJTrump.com/desk.

Trump launches new communications platform after Facebook, Twitter bans

I'm a little bit disappointed here.

I could have created a web page, for Trump to post a monologue, myself.

I sort of guess in some sort of way, I can see this is some kind of small win for free speech; well, if I squint just right.

I doubt that Facebook and Twitter feel threatened by this. It would seem that a man of his resources could set up a platform that would clown stomp the other two platforms.

You had higher expectations?

True, but then someone who is not Donald would be in charge... and he wouldn't abide that.

Squint harder. From the article:

"The site, which went live Tuesday, lets Mr. Trump post comments, images, and videos, but does not permit, as Twitter and Facebook do, comments from users."

"Free speech" for Donald; everyone else can just shut up.

I doubt that Facebook and Twitter feel threatened by this. It would seem that a man of his resources could set up a platform that would clown stomp the other two platforms.

Like he did with the airline industry?
Or the liquor industry?
Or the food industry?
Or the pro sports industry?
Or the bottled water industry?
Or the publishing industry?
Or the mortgage industry?
Or the educational industry?

You're right about one thing -- Facebook and Twitter have nothing to worry about.

I don't have to squint any harder. I saw it the first time I squinted.

There is rather a lot of criticism of prominent Republicans...

The vocabulary is somewhat expanded; the grammar a little more complex. No one word sentences; no exclamation marks. Oh, dear, could it be ghost-written?

Here is the first sentence :

'The Fake News Media, working in close conjunction with Big Tech and the Radical Left Democrats, is doing everything they can to perpetuate the term “The Big Lie” when speaking of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud.'

See what I mean?

It appears that the Ghost Writer is trying hard to personify Trump by using such techniques as Capitalization of Key words, although there are several giveaways.

As others have Noted, the Vocabulary (aka Greatest Words) and speling aren't wholly Trumpesque, and the Capitalizations are too consistent.

"Free speech" for Donald; everyone else can just shut up.

Just 3 days in, The White House channel was under relentless negative commentary
from the American people, so they disabled feedback to not look so bad.

...and the social media sites continue to do the job for the White House on their own. When the responses to the belated State of the Union address was overwhelmingly negative, the site edited the responses in order to make it seem otherwise.

Well now, that is disappointing. They shouldn't have done that no matter how busy the troll farms were...

Entertainers obsess over ratings.

Speaking of free speech, that we know Trump was for, along with Law and order.

Biden team may partner with private firms to monitor extremist chatter online
Biden team may partner with private firms to monitor extremist chatter online - CNNPolitics

When they say "monitor extremist chatter", its anyone that
do not agree with there far left agenda, or political views.

Spying on American citizens without a warrant is a violation
of their [our] First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The Biden administration wants to hire private cybersecurity firms
to monitor the online chatter and search activities of American
citizens without a search warrant. He wants to make subcontracting
espionage work to private firms a standard practice.

The Obama administration used false intelligence gathered by a private
intelligence firm to obtain surveillance warrants on Donald Trump.

Like the Obama administration before it, the Biden administration
is targeting all those who criticize its collectivist policies.

“But let’s be clear, the John Brennans, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies — and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob that stormed the Capitol.”
