Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s eldest son, officially joined the social media Telegram platform on Jan. 23 and posted a series of videos to his personal account to post some of his comments on the policies of the current U.S. administration.
“Big technology companies are out of control, and it’s clear that many of you want to connect on platforms that don’t stifle free speech,” said Donald Trump Jr.
Previously, Trump and members of his Family had long been active on Twitter and Facebook and other media, but in early January, Twitter permanently deleted Trump’s Twitter number, which has more than 88.6 million followers, claiming that the reason for the deletion was that Trump’s comments could trigger violence among the public, while several social media companies, including Facebook, also blocked Trump’s account for similar reasons. In the wake of this, Trump supporters launched a boycott of Big Tech with their families, finding another platform to speak out.
“As you know, I’m a conservative and I say what I think,” Trump’s eldest son said, “I really don’t want a position advantage, I don’t need a conservative sounding board, I actually want a venue for my different ideas to compete with each other.” He promised to share more of his original content with his followers.
In the first video posted, he commented that thousands of National Guardsmen were allegedly sent to rest in a parking garage last week, that thousands of personnel had only one 2-compartment bathroom available, and that “they serve their country, they follow orders,” and Donald Jr. decried that Congress “treats the National Guard in Washington, D.C., in a ridiculous way.
In another video, Donald Jr. said, “Democratic governors have been criticizing conservative governors for months because they want to keep their states open. Now they suddenly want to reopen it?”
Currently, Donald Trump Jr.’s Telegraph account has more than 800,000 followers and is growing very quickly.
