Great! Now he can say stupid things again.

There should be NO social media allowed for this fascist traitor criminal. He should be in solitary prison confinement for life, with NO internet access or contact with anyone from the outside world. Meta is abetting and giving comfort to a terrorist and an enemy of the United States. This in itself is a treasonous act and an outrage.

Why would Trump need a presence on Facebook when he has his own super successful social media platform "Truth Social"?

It does sound like this is the first bit of good news Trump has had in a long long time. But then again, a 14 year-old can have a Facebook account, but I guess you've got to start somewhere.

Good! By reinstating him Facebook will again allow Trump to re-incriminate himself. I don't use the platform myself so all I'm waiting for is to see his orange mugshot impersonating Gary Busey, whenever Merrick remembers he's wanted back at the office.

There should be NO social media allowed for this fascist traitor criminal.

He's not a traitor, he's not Snowden or Swalwell

He should be in solitary prison confinement for life, with NO internet access or contact with anyone from the outside world.

Maybe that kind of thinking works well in Somalia, but not in a democracy, believe me, I feel you, I feel worse about every person in this current admin, but laws are laws and rules are rules in a civilized society.

Meta is abetting and giving comfort to a terrorist and an enemy of the United States. This in itself is a treasonous act and an outrage.

Hogwash, as an American this is the right and just thing to do, these people lied and got in bed with politics which is something they should have never done, they are a social media platform and NOT a political one, they got caught and thanks to Musk for exposing all of the outrageous undertakings they did to a sitting President of the US, I hate Obama, but if they would have done that to him does anyone think that the left would have stood by and allowed that to happen? Think about it, no difference here. They at least partially admitted that they were wrong and it is a good start, still don't trust these people if my life depended on it, but they have moved in the right direction and it is a just and long overdue one.

A good point.

I miss Trump’s Twitter account in some ways. It was teenage fart/knob joke level but he could be funny.

It did get ugly when he gave publicity to a foul racist organization in the UK by retweeting a dodgy video from them. That was sewer level.

Trump has an exclusive contract with Truth Social and now wants to end that and return to Twitter. Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes denied an earlier report that Trump wants to make the switch.

“FACEBOOK, which has lost Billions of Dollars in value since “deplatforming” your favorite President, me,

What a silly and stupid man.

Trump owes ALL his fame to mainstream media and social media, while lambasting them for being “unfair” to him. Especially the NY Times, WaPo, NBC, Twitter, and Facebook.

By all means, go ahead and spout your self-worshipping and spiteful nonsense on Facebook. You’re a washed up loser anyway.

After two years, people who had no right to vote for or against Trump then, get triggered by this?

Such anger and dismay that one man will even have the ability to speak, if he so chooses.

Do you miss the days when he retweeted trash memes like hitting Hillary Clinton with a golf ball?

I must admit, I do to a point. It takes me back to the days when we lit farts in break time at school or drew knobs on other’s blazers in chalk.

Trump did not return to Twitter and probably won't return to FB.

Doesn’t mean he won’t in the future, but the good thing is, he can.

What a silly and stupid man. 

Why?

Trump owes ALL his fame to mainstream media and social media, while lambasting them for being “unfair” to him. Especially the NY Times, WaPo, NBC, Twitter, and Facebook. 

Well, all politicians do, good or bad. Now when and if he decides to run, they all know they need Trump and he needs them.

By all means, go ahead and spout your self-worshipping and spiteful nonsense on Facebook. You’re a washed up loser anyway.

No, not even close.

People invested billions into Truth Social on the condition that Trump had an exclusive contract. Will he now break that contract? Will those investors lose money?

A question is never answered by another question.

He could, wouldn’t be the first contract a person broke, doubt investors will lose money, there are other people that people should look at when it comes to investor fraud.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. How about 45 breaking another promise and tricking his tubes again?

How do you feel about that?

Don’t use ‘the left’ or ‘Biden’ or ‘Dems’ in your answer, it won’t be at all relevant.

Right. You know, who hasn’t conned the NY Times into writing a story that inflated their achievements and worth? And which politician hasn’t had their own reality TV show on NBC that mythologizes them beyond recognition? And who hasn’t used FB to scam feeble-minded voters into donating money and then calling the whole platform biased against themselves? We’re all such hypocrites!

Is that right? I seem to recall you spent many hours on here attacking Facebook and proclaiming truth social the savior of free speech.

Now it has nothing to do with you? That is quite a turnaround.

Trump is a traitor and a criminal of zero residual value.

He shouldn’t be on social media of any kind.

At least we will get to enjoy him incriminating himself when he’s indicted on multiple felonies and can’t keep his yap shut.

Not all politicians are presidents held to higher standards but with Trump not all presidents are politicians.

Trump does not get the media rush he gets from Twitter and FB. We don,t even know how many members. Trump is a media junkie and needs his daily fix. Like a donkey in the car headlights.

3 ( +3 / -0 )

I'm ok with this, because it seems every time Trump opens his mouth, he just says something that either increases his legal culpability for the charges he is facing, or says something that alienates non-partisan centrist votes required to actually win an election.

People are tired of the crazy. The more he can broadcast his crazy, the more people he will turn off. Let him bleat on FB - give a man enough rope...

The FBI and the big wigs at the helm sure scammed people and got their fill.

As far as rush goes, seems like Trump won’t have to worry about Schiff, Swalwell or Omar, annoying him anymore, so that’s indeed refreshing news to hear on a cold shimmering Thursday morning, less to worry about.

Yes because that is my prediction which is often more correct than yours. You predicted a RedWave in the elections which turned into ketchup. You said the reptiles would retake the house and the senate.

We will know in 2024.

Yeah the NY Times! that won a Pulitzer for their hard hitting reporting on Russia collusion.

That we just found many years later that the FBI actually did, not Trump.

The fact that Schiff and Swalwell were on the Intel Committee in the first place is looney.

Not the House though. Notice how the Dems seem nervous recently. That in itself is worth all the gold.
