Facebook banned a video of President Donald Trump’s interview with his daughter-in-law Laura earlier on Wednesday (March 31) and announced that it will no longer allow the “voice of President Trump” to be heard on its platform.
The major tech platform announced that any video or audio file featuring “President Trump’s voice” is now not allowed on its platform (including new posts containing content from President Trump’s speech) and that any such video “will be removed if posted, resulting in additional restrictions on the account that posted the video. Additional restrictions will be placed on the account that posted the video. The company said it did so because the videos in question violated its platform rules.
While major tech sites have blocked the 45th president almost across the board, the move has brought a new wave of popularity to any non-mainstream social media outlet that does not ban users from talking about related content. The video of President Trump talking to Laura Trump is watched by a large number of users on YouTube rival Rumble.
In the interview, which ran just 18 minutes on Tuesday, President Trump slammed Joe Biden for his approach to the news conference, talking about his blocked climb up the stairs of Air Force One and his overall poor performance in the Oval Office.
“I think the press conference was probably the least important,” Trump told his daughter-in-law. “People saw a lot of things happen long before the press conference – even the trip up the steps (referring to Biden’s constant falls on the Air Force One steps) – up and down, three times – there was a lot going on, so we’ll see what happens.”
“Look at our border and see what’s happening,” Trump said, “We had the best southern border, the best border we’ve ever had, and in one day, he said, ‘Everybody come on over,’ and compared to what was going to happen in the summer what’s going to happen, what’s happening now is nothing compared to what’s going to happen.”
“(The policies) are more liberal and more radical than Bernie Sanders had in mind,” he added, adding, “He never talked about what he was doing to destroy the energy industry and the Second Amendment,” and “those things were not even discussed during the election were not even discussed during the election.”
President Trump also noted that the social media ban did not cause him to lose his ability to communicate with the public.”
“This new phase. You have something, and they’re not going to put it out there. Whether it’s a scandal, whether it’s anything, whether it’s good news, they’re not going to put it up. It’s a very interesting Time. We’re getting it out there, I’m getting it out there with press releases, and people are picking it up.”
President Trump explained, “I think we’re getting our voice out there, plus, everybody wants me to do my own website.”
President Trump is planning to launch his own social media site, possibly called “Trumper,” according to his adviser, Jason-Miller. President Trump also said he may also join tech sites such as Gab or Parler.
On Tuesday, when asked if supporters could have hope that he would run again, Trump gave the following response, “You do have hope, I can tell you, you do have hope. We love our country, this country, and we all owe our country a lot, but now we have to help our country.”
