President Trump was permanently banned from Twitter on January 8, 2021.
Following the events of January 6, Twitter employees rallied together, urging the company to ban Trump from the platform. That afternoon, The Washington Post published an open letter signed by over 300 Twitter employees, addressed to CEO Jack Dorsey, demanding the ban and stating, “We must examine Twitter’s complicity in what President-Elect Biden has rightly termed insurrection.”
Despite Twitter Safety’s assessment that Trump’s tweets did not violate their policies, the ban was still upheld.
Elon Musk later reinstated Trump’s account after acquiring Twitter.
The last time President Trump posted on X was nearly one year ago, when he posted his mugshot:
