NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has returned to X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, firing off his first message in more than two years just hours after he surrendered at an Atlanta jail on charges he conspired to overturn his 2020 election loss.
He posted a photo of his mug shot and the words, “Election interference. Never surrender!” along with a link to his website.
It was Trump's first post since Jan. 8, 2021, when Twitter suspended his account indefinitely, citing fears he would incite additional violence following the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol building. His account was reinstated last November shorty after Elon Musk took over the company, but Trump had refrained from tweeting, insisting that he was happier on his own Trump Social site, which he launched during the ban.
Trump has 86.5 million followers on what is now known as X, dwarfing his rivals in the 2024 race.
