His last tweets were from January 2021 – it was over after the alleged “attack on the Capitol”; Donald Trump has been banned from Twitter. He did not respond to the activation after Elon Musk took over the network at the time, but now the former President of the United States has reported back to X. He demonstratively posted his “mug shot” – the mug shot that was taken of him at Fulton Jail today. Subtitle: “Never Surrender!” – Never give up.
X (formerly Twitter) cheers: Donald Trump is back. While the German mainstream, notably Relotius Spiegel, is trying hard to give the impression that he, as the first US president, would have been more inept with the so-called mug shot, users on the social network are interpreting things very differently. See from : To his still-vast following, the police photo Trump provocatively posted on Twitter is more likely a badge of honor.
The judiciary’s action against the former US president, who has always campaigned for a fight against the so-called Deep State, serves as evidence of conspiracies that Trump has strongly condemned in the past. In particular, he saw the Justice Department as intrusive and at the service of powerful, foreign masters who act not for the good of American citizens but for their own interests – and who accordingly regard hardliners like Trump as archenemies. Trump promised US citizens in May: “I am your warrior, I am your righteousness, and for those who have been wronged and cheated, I am your retribution. I will completely wipe out the dark kingdom.”
The former president responds directly to the accusation of election interference against him: he calls the current events a travesty of justice. “Never give up!” – “Never give up!” – is under his mug shot in today’s Twitter post. It was well received by the users – likes went up in a very short span of time, the first million should be cracked soon. “We know that if you are re-elected, this country can develop again. Great mug shot – fierce and determined. Thank you for loving this country and everyone who lives in it,” commented a user. Another posted, “The sheriff is back in town.” Trump’s picture from Fulton Jail is already printed on the T-shirt.
The following message can be read by Trump on the linked website (translated into German):
President Donald J. a personal note from trump
Today I was arrested and detained in the notoriously violent Fulton County, Georgia Jail despite having committed no crime.
The American people know what’s up. What has happened is a travesty of justice and electoral interference.
The Left wants to keep you from voting for a political bigot who puts the American people first.
But today I go into the lion’s den with one simple message on behalf of our entire movement: I will never give up on my mission to save America.
If you are feeling hopeless because of the horrible people who currently control our country, don’t even think about donating!
But if you can, please help get sick Joe Biden out of the White House and save America in this dark chapter in our nation’s history.
thank you and god bless you
Donald J. TrumpThey
It remains to be seen whether the mug shot will actually hurt him, as Relotius-Spiegel & Co. predicted. In any case, to many, Donald Trump appears to be the greatest hope for the future of the United States of America to date.
