    Former President Donald Trump returned to X - formerly known as Twitter - Thursday evening in dramatic fashion, posting a photo of his mug shot taken hours earlier in Fulton County, Georgia, while linking to a landing page for donations.

    Trump, who was suspended by the social media platform in January 2021, was reinstated by new owner Elon Musk in November 2022. Since then, it has long been speculated how Trump would make his return to the website, which became so associated with his brand and style of politics.

    Trump turned himself in to be arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, Thursday evening on multiple felony charges stemming from his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    Trump agreed earlier this week to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions with the Fulton County District Attorney's office. His mugshot was released by the Trump team hours later.

    "The American people know what's going on," the pitch reads. "What has taken place is a travesty of justice and ELECTION INTERFERENCE."

    Trump has been criticized by his opponents for using campaign funds toward his legal defense related to the four indictments that he is currently facing. Yet some supporters of the president, like CPAC's Matt Schlapp, have rebutted those claims, arguing that fighting these legal battles is part of "winning."

    "If you are doing poorly due to the sinister people in control of our country right now, don't even think about donating!" the message from Trump read Thursday night. "But if you can, please make a contribution to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and SAVE AMERICA during this dark chapter in our nation's history."

    The former president posted similar messages to Meta-owned Instagram and his social media site Truth Social.

    In reaction to the surprise post, Daily Wire host Michael Knowles said, "He saved his Twitter comeback for the mugshot. Genius."

    "He's baaccccckkkk," country music star John Rich said.

Where do you stand on the wanton censorship by Big Tech Platforms, while retaining their Section 230 carveout indemnifying them for Slander /Defamation lawsuits and Copyright infringements?

  Big Tech Platforms have the right to Censor all speech providing they voluntarily relinquish their Section 230 Carveout.

  Big Tech Platforms DO NOT have the right to Censor any speech, while retaining multiple indemnifications by virtue of the Section 230 Carveout.

  I know nothing of this 230 talk, but "I do love me some social media".

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail
