Ever a master of spectacle and timing, President Donald Trump took the occasion of his iconic “mugshot” to finally make his long awaited return to Twitter… but as always, there’s a catch.

At the beginning of the year, Revolver’s Darren Beattie asked Trump if he would ever return to Twitter, and strongly urged that he do so.

Revolver:

Despite these factors, a Trump return to Twitter would represent nothing less than a triumphal march.

It would signal the return of a true king to his castle after corrupt, incompetent, clownish evildoers had driven him away. And if Trump wants to complete his victorious return, by marching all the way back into the White House that was snatched from him by such underhanded means two years ago, then going back to Twitter is a crucial step along the way.

However, if you were hoping that Trump’s return to Twitter signaled a return to the ‘good ol’ days’ before his unjust deplatforming, he quickly made it clear that this is not the case.

As excitement grew over his first post on X, President Trump shared his feelings on his very own Truth Social platform, leaving no doubt about where his online heart and home lie. Here’s what he posted:

No matter where Trump appears on social media, whether it’s on X, Truth Social, or both, there should be no doubt that he still has a ton of fight left in him. And he’s going to need it. Game on.
