donald trump Posted on Facebook for the first time since 2021 to promote the new presidential campaign. Trump shared a photo of him on stage after his victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. He captioned the post with the simple phrase, “I’m back.”
Trump was suspended from the podium shortly after the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021.
Facebook’s parent company Meta announced a moratorium on the ban in January.
In a statement confirming that Trump’s profile will be allowed back online, they said:
“Under normal circumstances, the public should be able to hear from the former president of the United States and his re-running candidates for office on our platform.

“Now that the suspension period has passed, the question is not whether you choose to reinstate Trump’s account, but rather the unusual circumstances that would warrant extending the suspension beyond the original two years.” It’s about whether the situation remains.”
They added, “We know that any decision we make on this issue will be heavily criticized.
“Reasonable people would disagree on whether it was the right decision.
“But a decision had to be made and we tried to do the best we could in a way that was consistent with our values and the process we had established according to the guidance of our oversight board.”
