Donald Trump says IM BACK as he posts on Facebook for first time in 2 years after ban
Donald Trump has made his return to Facebook after being banned in 2021, telling his followers on the Social Media platform "I'M BACK!". The disgraced former president was taken off major social media platforms following a far right insurrection at Capitol Hill where he praised violent rioters after he lost to Joe Biden . Meta, Facebook's parent company, made the decision to boot Trump off their platforms after he “praised people engaged in violence” and a number of other major platforms did too. In his return, Trump posted: “I’M BACK!” as he promoted his campaign for presidency as he intends to run again in 2024, just hours after he was let back onto YouTube . In the video, it shows a clip of Trump from 2016, on the night he was elected president, where he says: “Sorry to keep you waiting complicated business, complicated …” and it ends with him promoting his campaign for next year. TikTok being investigated by US Justice Department for SPYING on people Donald Trump made his return to Facebook This all comes as a federal judge reportedly ruled Donald Trump's lawyer must testify before a jury in the ongoing investigation into the businessman and earlier today, YouTube reinstated the businessman's channel following a similar two-year suspension. When Meta ended Trump’s suspension on January 25 this year, former deputy PM turned Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said that new “guardrails” would be introduced to prevent repeat offending. They justified the decision to let him back by adding: “The public should be able to hear what their politicians are saying — the good, the bad and the ugly — so that they can make informed choices at the ballot box. The former president, who decried the election he lost as 'rigged', is making his way back onto mainstream social media platforms ahead of his second run at presidency ( Image: Dominic Gwinn/ZUMA Press Wire/REX/Shutterstock) "But that does not mean there are no limits to what people can say on our platform. When there is a clear risk of real world harm — a deliberately high bar for Meta to intervene in public discourse — we act." He described the circumstances of Meta banning Trump, when he praised those literally attacking America’s democracy, as “extreme and highly unusual”. Originally Trump's ban was open-ended but it was later set to two years from the date of the original suspension, January 7, 2021. The Washington Post reported that Trump made over 30,000 misleading or false claims over a space of four years ( Image: Alex Brandon/AP/REX/Shutterstock) Speaking earlier today as the former president was let back onto YouTube, the company's Leslie Miller said the 76-year-old “is no longer restricted" after the company had “carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, balancing that with the importance of preserving the opportunity for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election. “This channel will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube.” After being similarly banned on Twitter , new owner Elon Musk ran a poll for his followers to decide if the former president's account should be reinstated. Musk, whose time in charge of Twitter has hit the headlines on a number of occasions, then said: "The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox populi, vox dei." Supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building on January 6 and the president praised them ( Image: AFP via Getty Images) He was let back onto Twitter almost a month before Facebook but is yet to post there. In his time off the social media giants, Trump has relied upon his own social network, Truth Social. But now, seemingly in an attempt to bolster his upcoming, second, run for president he has re-emerged on Facebook. Trump has 34million followers on Facebook, 87.4million followers on Twitter, and 2.5million subscribers on YouTube. Across his social media platforms, the posts where he incited violence remain up as he claimed his loss to Joe Biden was a "rigged election" again and again. This all comes as a federal judge reportedly ruled Donald Trump's lawyer must testify before a jury. In making her ruling, the judge, Beryl A. Howell, found that the government had met the threshold for the so-called crime-fraud exception, which lets prosecutors work around attorney-client privilege when advice could have been given in furtherance of a crime, the New York Times reported. The ruling is a significant moment in the ongoing investigations in Trump's illegal retention of national security materials and obstruction of justice and it could lead to new revelations about his activities.

'Trump tax': MSNBC host Chris Hayes shows how Trump winning would increase costs
Mar 28, 2024
How much would former President Donald Trump's proposed 10 percent tariff plan actually cost the average American household?The wave of tariffs Trump enacted when he was last president caused chaos, but there are many complexities that muddy this somewhat. However, MSNBC's Chris Hayes took an educated and simple guess at just how badly the country would be hit in the pocketbook under Trump's second-term plans."We don't know exactly how much everything would cost," said Hayes, but "just add 10 percent on the back of the napkin. Here's the cost of living under the Trump Tax."ALSO READ: ‘Don't have enough’: Wealthy Trump allies balk at helping Donald pay legal bills"Start with groceries," he said. "A dozen eggs cost about $3. Once you apply the Trump Tax, that is up to $3.30, with the U.S. importing over 4 million eggs a year, but cost consumers over $1.2 million. If you like oranges, they currently go for about $1.53 per pound. With the Trump Tax, that would be $1.68 per pound, which would cost American consumers almost $71 million for the nearly half a billion pounds of the import. Bananas. We don't really grow them in the U.S., do we? They average about $.63 per pound and going up to $.69 per pound with the Trump Tax, thanks to the U.S. importing more than 10 million pounds per year, that could cost Americans at $609 million and that's a $609 million tax on American consumers. Then there's tomatoes. They go for about $2.13 per pound. Apply the 10 percent Trump Tax. They would be $2.34 per pound, potentially costing Americans $3.5 million thanks to the 6.8 million pounds we import per year. If you are spending $1,200 on groceries, add another $120 to the bill. That's more than the peak of inflation in 2022, which topped off at 9 percent. This is 10 percent."Groceries are just the start, he continued."How about the refrigerator?" said Hayes. "You need to keep the groceries fresh. The average cost of a new fridge is about $1,300. With the Trump Tax, that could go up to $1,430, costing Americans $1.95 billion for the 15 million refrigerators that we import. Again, $1.95 billion of new taxes. What about the car that you need to drive to the grocery store? On average, a new car costs about $48,808 today. With Trump Tax, it costs $53,684, with Americans potentially taking a $66.3 billion hit across the board on the 13 million cars we import. That's not including the 50 percent tariff which would make it another $25,000. Even the smartphone in your pocket cost on average about $940 right now. With Trump Tax, it can go up to $1,034, with Americans potentially paying an extra $13.2 billion for the nearly 141 million smartphones that we import per year.""Everyone hates when you have to pay more for things," he added. "Inflation is one of the biggest liabilities for a sitting president. Yet here is Donald Trump, in the Year of our Lord 2024, running against President Biden, promising to make things more expensive for every American."Watch the video below or click here.

Trump-endorsed candidate says Beyoncé is teaching women 'how to be hyper-sexual'
Mar 28, 2024
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson had yet another group of extremist comments unveiled — this time about legendary singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.According to The Root, "During a series of rants spanning multiple years, Robinson —who is Black —insulted Beyoncé’s singing abilities, called her a 'skank,' and said she was teaching 'young women how to be hyper-sexual w----s.'"For example, in 2017, Robinson posted to Facebook, “Person; Beyoncé is a role model!” Me; “The only person that butt shakin’, devil worshipping, skank is a role model to is people who want a fast track to Hell.” This is on top of previous reporting that he referred to her music as sounding like "Satanic chants."ALSO READ: ‘Don't have enough’: Wealthy Trump allies balk at helping Donald pay legal billsThese revelations come at a moment when Beyoncé herself has found herself at the center of some national controversy, having written a country music inspired album known as Cowboy Carter, and some country radio stations refusing to play singles off of it because of her race.Robinson, who is challenging Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein for the governorship of North Carolina, has been put under the spotlight for a number of bizarre and offensive comments throughout the years.Among other things, he has referred to school shooting survivors as "prosti-tots," pushed QAnon and "lizard people" conspiracy theories, questioned the Holocaust, and suggested American politics was better in the era when women couldn't vote.

'Some prosecutor should be looking into' Trump's latest legal defense scam: expert
Mar 28, 2024
Former President Donald Trump's sprawling network of ostensibly independent political groups raising money for him, much of it in service of paying legal expenses, seems to walk right up to the line of breaking the law, former prosecutor Kristy Greenberg told MSNBC's Alex Wagner — and may in fact cross it."Kristy, how is this legal?" asked Wagner. "How can he keep saying this one thing and doing another?""Well, I think the big question here will be looking behind all of this as to who is coordinating it," said Greenberg. "If Donald Trump is coordinating between his campaign and these PACs that are supposed to be third parties and independent — the Save America PAC is independent, even though he directs it, independent third-party — if there is sufficient coordination, you could prove that, then maybe you would have something to say these expenditures are not purely personal, these are really campaign contributions. And therefore they should be subject to the limits of $5,000 that campaign contributions are subject to."ALSO READ: ‘Don't have enough’: Wealthy Trump allies balk at helping Donald pay legal billsWhat it looks like, Greenberg went on, is that Trump and his allies are "just trying to do an end-run around these various regulations, and it seems so transparent.""[Special counsel] Jack Smith ... had served some subpoenas in connection with that nonexistent, as it turns out, election defense fund," Greenberg said. "He served some subpoenas and then he withdrew them and it was unclear why, because that seemed like such a clear-cut fraud. I questioned why that happened. Perhaps it was optics. Perhaps he thought like he had such strong cases, the January 6 case and the national security case, that he didn't want to seem as though he was trying to drain Trump of the ability to legally defend against those cases. Hard to say. But I questioned it at that time because that seemed like such a clear wire fraud case that it seemed like it should be looked into, but maybe they just had limited resources and didn't like the optics of it.""But I agree with you, this raises a lot of questions," she added. "Someone, somewhere, even if not the special counsel's office, because they are pretty busy — some prosecutors should be looking into this."Watch the video below or at the link.
