Poor Donald Trump. Even his much-ballyhooed Trump blog is a failure.
Politics
On May 4th of this year, ‘The Donald’ launched a site entitled “From The Desk of Donald J. Trump.” The new Trump blog was billed as a substitute to Twitter and Facebook after they blocked him from posting on social media, as well as a new platform for Trump to communicate with his millions of MAGA minions.
“President Trump’s website is a great resource to find his latest statements and highlights from his first term in office,” senior Trump aide Jason Miller said in early May.
However, on Wednesday and less than a month after its launch, the Trump team announced that the new Trump blog is shutting down. Permanently!
“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said on Wednesday. The page has been scrubbed and “will not be returning.”
So, what went wrong?
According to NBC News, the Trump blog struggled to find an audience anywhere close to the numbers he previously enjoyed on Twitter. In fact, the blog collected only 212,000 total engagements, which is a substantially lower engagement rate than Trump’s history of tweets.
Before the ban, a single Trump tweet was typically liked and retweeted hundreds of thousands of times. Additionally, Trump once enjoyed 88 million followers on Twitter, 32 million on Facebook, and 24 million on Instagram. So, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to discover that 212k TOTAL engagements were just not going to cut it.

“In the case of Trump’s new platform, it is so technologically primitive that there is no way for his followers to even migrate.” – Jeremy Blackburn, Binghamton University
Now, the site is completely dead and erased from the internet, the old blog posts are archived as press releases in a separate section of the site, and anyone attempting to visit the page is now greeted with a standard web form asking for their contact information to receive updates through email or text.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
Of course his blog ended up being a colossal Failure…lol. It’s the one thing he IS a master at – FAILING.
In fact, you could have bet money on it Failing because its Failure was just that predictable. But here’s the thing I do find to be interesting. Trump truly believes he’s the so-called “leader” of the collective of Failures (people) he represents. The Poor dangerous dimwit just doesn’t understand.
As I’ve expressed before, Trump is just a TOOL being used by that right-wing collective to try to turn back the hands of time.
They want Jim Crow fully reenacted and a Fascist-style government to ensure that it’s maintained. They couldn’t care less about any of his other bullsh*t. Least of all his sorry azz blog.
