Former President Donald Trump announced his plans to run for President of the United States for a third time onNov. 15,2022.
This time around, Trump could have fewer places to connect with supporters on account of his being banned from several major social media platforms.
While Trump has been welcomed back on Twitter since Elon Musk acquired the platforms, he is still banned from several social media platforms.
Heres a look at how the stock of one company that banned Trump has performed since the decision.
What Happened: After the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Trump was banned from several social media platforms for the role he played in the events.
This included a ban on Twitter, Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL owned YouTube and Meta Platforms META owned social media platform Facebook.
Facebook suspended Trump on Jan. 7, 2021. It was announced that the earliest Trump would be allowed back on the platform was Jan. 7, 2023, after a two-year ban expires.
Facebook has not announced the decision to un-ban Trump yet, with a decision expected anytime soon by the social media platform.
Trump was cited as a risk to public safety at the time, and it was said that permanent removal from the platform could be among the decisions made.
To combat the bans and amplify his voice on social media, Trump launched Trump Media & Technology Group, which is going public with Digital World Acquisition Corporation DWAC . Trump uses Truth Social, a unit of Trump Media & Technology Group, to share his thoughts and opinions.
Despite being unbanned on Twitter, Trump has yet to post on his former favorite social media outlet.
