Twitter suspends Trump ‘From the Desk’ account, despite no link to Team Trump
The account pulled from Twitter for appearing to belong to former President Donald Trump’s newly launched communications platform was not created by the ex-commander-in-chief’s team, The Post has learned.
The 45th commander-in-chief revealed his new website, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” on Tuesday, which allows him to provide his thoughts in Twitter-style posts that can then be shared on social media sites he has been banned from.
The site is meant to serve as “a place to speak freely and safely,” a statement from Team Trump said. The team is working on developing the site further to give him the ability to communicate directly with his followers.
An account appearing to belong to the former president’s new platform, @DJTDesk, emerged on the social media site shortly after.
By Wednesday evening, though, the account was suspended.
Reached for comment by The Post, including questions on the validity of the account, Twitter stood by the decision despite the identity of the user remaining completely unknown.
