Trump, a frequent poster on X during his presidency, was banned from the platform shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol, but Musk reinstated him shortly after purchasing the site in Oct. 2022. However, Trump had posted just once on X since then before Monday.Trump, a frequent poster on Twitter during his presidency, was banned from the platform shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the US Capitol, but Musk reinstated him shortly after purchasing the site in Oct. 2022.

The Spin
This was a great opportunity for Trump to have a laid-back chat with one of the most famous men on Earth in front of a worldwide audience and elaborate on his policy issues, including immigration, inflation and education. Meanwhile, Harris continues to dodge the media while refusing to answer questions about her extreme-left positions on these issues.
Chalk this up as another trainwreck for the Trump campaign. The interview was hampered by technical difficulties and Trump's speaking troubles. Most of all, it was filled with his madman rantings and ravings, which have been disproven time and again. Harris' growing popularity is obviously pushing the former president to the edges of his sanity and his campaign can't stop the freefall.
