According to a former White House aide, it will only be a matter of days before Donald Trump returns to the social media platform.
The company was sold to Musk. The ex-president's presence on social media would hurt him according to the former Trump aide.
The White House Director of Strategic Communications in 2020 said on ABC's "The View" that Trump's vocal opinions on the far-reaching social media platform would contrast sharply to the limited scope that he has.
She said on the daytime television show that social media brings out the worst in humans. People give in to their basic instincts when they're hidden behind anonymity, even though there's a lot of good stuff that comes from social media.
The January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol was the closest thing she could think of to being "stress tested" for the digital age, according to the author. From her point of view, it would not be a good thing for the former president to make waves on the social networking site.
She told the other panelists that she thought it was a bad idea for him to be on the social networking site. He doesn't get as much attention for his crazy statements on Truth Social as he did on social media. He went after me on the internet. It was not noticed by anyone.
Trump said that she wasn't being honest because she has been critical of the former president since leaving the administration.
He said on the social media platform and in a statement issued by his Save America PAC that "Alyssa misrepresented her true feelings about me and the Trump Administration in order to get her job at ratings disaster CNN and a seat at The View."
The beautiful letter she sent and other statements she made are not included in what she said about me. She should be fired for misrepresentation. He asked the person to release the letter.
The former president's technology habits were often filled with political attacks and other inflammatory comments, which would be seen differently by the public if Trump's statements were made on the social media platform.
She said that he was going to have a bigger platform and that it would remind voters of how much drama he created. Republicans will have to answer for everything. It isn't good for the party or the man.
After Trump railed against the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election, he was banned from the social media site.
It is expected that Musk will nix permanent bans on the platform.
The former president said in the past that he would use Truth Social.
