Looking at creating own platform after Twitter ban: Trump

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said he will look at building his own platform after Twitter suspended him on Friday, citing a risk of further incitement of violence following the storming of the US Capitol on Wednesday by hundreds of his supporters.

Trump sent the latest tweets on his @ POTUS account after Twitter banned his personal account. Ssome Republicans leaders have condemned Twitter for permanently deactivating outgoing President Trump’s account, saying that the “US is not China”.

Twitter on Friday permanently suspended Trump’s account due to the “risk of further incitement of violence”, days after his supporters stormed the US Capitol and caused the deaths of four civilians and a police officer.
