Trump’s Return to Twitter Might Not Be as Bad as We Think.
Just hear me out, ok?
As we all know, following his own unscientific Twitter poll results, Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s Twitter account. Of course, as was to be expected, liberals were livid. In all fairness, I can genuinely understand why people would be upset upon hearing the news. The man used his Twitter account to incite a riot after all.
But, take a moment to think.
Take a moment to process the implications of various scenarios for not only Trump, but Elon Musk as well, and the news might not be quite as bad as we think it is.
Trump’s in quite a predicament now, isn’t he? He has a much wider reach on Twitter and he knows it. But, if he returns to Twitter that will effectively destroy his own social media company Truth Social. So he now has to chose between the platform that helped him to win the election, or losing hundreds of millions of dollars.
As of right now, he’s saying he won’t return to Twitter. But, as we get closer to the actual 2024 election and he sees his fellow candidates posting on there, we’ll see how long that lasts, right? I have a feeling all it’s going to take is one slightly critical tweet from Mike Pence or Ron DeSantis, and he’ll be back on in a heartbeat to respond.
