I thought he could post on the official White House Twitter account, but it would go through White House screening, so it wouldn't be his usual free for all. I know he can't post on @realdonaldtrump or @potus or @TeamTrump. But I do think if he had an important official announcement to make to the American People, such as a farewell message, it could be screened like a press release and go on the White House account.

I stand corrected! https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN29E02H

His posts would go through the usual White House screening process for public communications, the way press releases do. If Trump had an important official announcement he needed to make, it would go through the screening that any announcement on the the official White House Twitter feed would. He has outlets.
He's already attempted several times to use the White House account to spew more divisiveness and was promptly shut down again by Twitter. They have him in a box from which there is no escape. He's done on Twitter for good, and he's lost all those beautiful followers....SAD!

The idea that what just happened at the Capitol is anywhere close to the BLM protests or the reaction to the 2016 election is beyond absurd.

As soon as Parler can organize a server, they can move over there.

Gab is another option.

Did we storm the capitol and cause death and destruction and mayhem? No, we knitted ***** hats and engaged in peaceful protest.

Just a tiny bit of a difference there, eh?

Then they should delete the ayatollahs account from Iran for threatening Israel. They should be consistent.

Parler has had the door slammed in their face everywhere they've tried. John Matze was on Twitter last night saying there is no place that will take them. They're finished for good.

The ability to arrive at the truth is being vanquished by the Democrats right before your very eyes.
As others have hinted at. Trump can have a press briefing anytime he wants. A rally or even use the WH twitter account. Before Twitter presidents never had a problem getting out whatever message they wanted. If Trump and Pence want to put out the narrative everything is fine between them, lots of ways to make that happen.

I'm glad Pence and trump are feuding. In case Pence becomes president for the next few he'll be less likely to grant Trump a pardon.
