A senior adviser to former US President Donald Trump said today that Trump intends to return to social media by launching his own platform within two to three months.

Counselor Jason Miller told Fox News that the former president will return to the world of social media with a new platform of his own that will "completely redefine the game."

Miller did not provide further details, and officials of the prospective Trump Organization were not immediately available for comment.

Twitter, Facebook and other sites suspended Trump accounts following the January 6 attack on the Capitol on the sixth of last January.

Twitter was the primary platform for Republican billionaire Trump, using it to make political ads, attack his opponents, and even insult them.

The last straw

The role of his tweets in the attack by some of his supporters on the Capitol during the endorsement session for President Joe Biden's victory in the presidency was the last straw for many communication platforms.

In the days that followed, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitch and Twitter all blocked Trump accounts.

And when Trump tried to use the president's official account to respond, the site immediately deleted his tweets.

A Twitter spokesperson explained at the time that "using another account to avoid being suspended goes against our rules."

However, the platform's decision also sparked criticism, as it reflects the influence of the giant technology companies that have in fact exiled a head of state from social networks.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey himself considered that decision a "dangerous precedent," because it shows the influence an individual or company has over part of the global public debate.
