Trump’s First Tweet Since January 6 Features Mugshot and Fundraising Link

Former President Donald Trump made his first tweet on Twitter since January 8, 2021, on Thursday. The tweet featured his mugshot from his recent arrest in Fulton County, Georgia, along with a link to his fundraising website.

Trump had been banned from Twitter in January 2021 for “inciting violence” in the wake of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. However, the ban was lifted in November 2022 after Elon Musk purchased the company.

In his tweet, Trump wrote “Election interference. Never Surrender!” He also included a link to his fundraising website, which is raising money for his legal defense.

Musk’s decision to reinstate Trump’s account was controversial. Some people argued that it would allow Trump to spread misinformation and incite violence. Others argued that it was important to allow Trump to have a voice on the platform.
