Today Twitter barred Trump from using his personal twitter account permanently. The biggest far right media channel that the soon to be ex-president of United States has just been silenced.

Twitter explained that “After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
Trump further shared that President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
In its endeavor to further stop Trump from circumventing the ban Twitter went ahead and deleted tweets from @POTUS, the official account of the President of the United States.
In addition, Trump’s campaign account has been suspended. Earlier he was also banned by Facebook. It seems like a complete purge of the seditious voices coming from Trump and his campaign.
Post violence day when rioters stormed capitol, Trump’s own political capital has taken a nose dive with much of the GOP refusing to have his back and almost all of media outlets describing the chaos as the most disgraceful event in the nation’s history.
However, the fact the private incorporations are taking on the POTUS – arguably the most powerful man in world proves the extant of rule of law in US and that Trump is almost completely out of allies and his voice – silenced. At least for now.
