After months of being blocked from platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, former US President Donald Trump unveiled a communications channel on Tuesday that would potentially enable him to engage directly with his supporters.

The platform, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” appears on www.DonaldJTrump.com/desk. 

The platform will allow Trump to upload comments, photos, and videos, and fans will be able to retweet the former president’s posts to Twitter and Facebook; however, the new site will not allow users to “respond” or communicate with Trump’s posts.
