NEW YORK – A social network of his own. Where to publish all the “alternate realities” and attacks on opponents he wants. Donald Trump, banned from Twitter and Facebook in January, after the attack on Capitol Hill and his persistence in falsely claiming to have won the elections, would be ready to make his voice heard again through an online platform, for now not better identified. . His former adviser Jason Miller, already his communications director in 2016, and then in 2020 coordinator of relations between the campaign and the White House, assured the (conservative) American channel Fox News: “Trump is working to return with a his social network within two or three months at the most “.

A worrying move, according to Miller: “It will redefine the political game. Everyone will be able to listen to it and follow it and this time it will be on its platform.” In short: no one will be able to silence him. Apparently, the former president has already spoken to several companies, but there are no details about his plan, let alone what kind of project he is working on. The challenge is to recover the more than 100 million followers it had before. But it might not be that easy. Hosting services such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, could in fact refuse to host a potentially risky platform on their systems: just as happened with the social media loved by the American far-right Parler.
