An adviser to former President Donald Trump said Trump’s suspension from Big Tech platforms has helped him. Trump was permanently banned from Facebook and Twitter after the Jan. 6 riot just over a year ago.
“I don’t know a single person in Trump world who regrets that this has happened—not a single one,” the adviser told The Wall Street Journal.
Zignal Labs, a company that analyzes social media content, reported that mentions of Trump have decreased 88% on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
For his part, Trump himself has suggested that the bans helped his image since he relied on emailed statements instead of social media to spread his message.
“It’s really better than Twitter because I don’t do the stupid retweets that people don’t like—the retweets are the ones that get you,” Trump said last March. “And I saved a lot of time. I didn’t realize you can spend a lot of time on this. Now I actually have time to make phone calls, and do other things and read papers that I wouldn’t read. And with me, if I put a comma out of place or I accidentally misspelled a word, it was like the world coming down.”
According to The Journal , Trump’s diminished social media presence appears to have helped his popularity as well: “One year after the violent riot in the Capitol, roughly 52% of Americans said they had an unfavorable view of Mr. Trump compared with 43% who viewed him favorably, according to a FiveThirtyEight.com average of national polls. That 9-point gap compared with a nearly 20-point spread in Mr. Trump’s favorability rating a year earlier, according to the same polling average.” Trump’s new social media platform, Truth Social, is expected to launch on President’s Day.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
