Donald Trump has reappeared on his social media platform, Truth Social, with a post that was reminiscent of an old gaffe.
The former president made his first post on the platform on Thursday.
The former President was looking at his phone on the lawn of his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump has over two million followers on Truth Social, a fraction of his peak follower count of more than 88 million people. His post was liked 178,000 times and was the platform's version of a re-tweet.
It's not clear why Trump included the #covfefe hashtag in his post, but it's similar to a gaffe he made in 2017: In the early hours of May 31, the then-president used a nonsensical word.
Social media users quickly turned the term into a meme after it was deleted.
Even if his account were to be unbanned by Musk, Trump would not return to it. The former president's account was suspended from the platform on January 8 last year after it was found that he was using it to inflame the Capitol riot.
Since its launch in February, Trump has not posted on Truth Social. The platform has been poorly received.
During a rally in Ohio, the former President called it "Truth Central" instead of the platform's name.
