According to a new report out today, former President Trump is considering a return to Twitter.

Here’s more via Axios:

It may take a while, but former President Trump has entertained the idea of returning to his happy place on Twitter, where he’s been absent for nearly 2 1/2 years, sources tell Axios.

Trump still has nearly 87 million followers on Twitter, but hasn’t posted there since he was banned after the Jan. 6 riot in 2021. Now a growing number of Trump allies — and some close to his campaign — are expecting him to tweet again.

As Trump tries to reclaim the White House while fighting off felony charges, people close to his team think he’ll eventually get back on Twitter — and that when he does, it will be with showmanship and a purpose.

“President Trump needs to make Twitter great again”

A person close to Trump’s campaign cast the ex-president’s Twitter return as a tool his team could use to try to offset bad news — another indictment, for example.

Others close to Trump are more focused on amplifying his message on Musk’s platform.

“President Trump needs to make Twitter great again. I want him to get back on before the presidential campaign heats up,” says Mike Davis, a Trump ally and founder of The Article III Project, a conservative legal group.

“From a business perspective, it’s very smart he’s only on Truth. From a political perspective, he needs to be on Twitter.”

It would make sense from a campaign perspective to return to Twitter for purposes of messaging. Plus we all know he loves to be the center of attention.

But note that all of the sources for this are allies who think he should return to Twitter. None of them say that they’ve heard Trump discussing a return. So I would take this with a grain of salt for now.
