Facebook has officially reinstated former President Donald Trump‘s account.
Trump was banned from both social media platforms, along with others such as Twitter, following the January 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol. Facebook at the time said Trump would be barred from using both Facebook and Instagram for inciting violence, a violation of their terms of service.
It is unclear whether Trump will use the platform—though the former president was reinstated on Twitter last November, he has still not used his account, opting instead to use his own platform, Truth Social.
Last month, Facebook CEO Nick Clegg told Axios that Trump's accounts would be reinstated “in coming weeks,” though he cautioned that future bans are on the table. “We've always believed that Americans should be able to hear from the people who want to lead the country,” Clegg told Axios. “We don't want to stand in the way of that.”
Trump has yet to post on either his Facebook or Instagram accounts, which together have more than 50 million followers.

Thank you FACEBOOK for honoring the requests of patriotic Americans to bring back our great president Trump. We need him not just for economic growth and security for our country, but most of all for world peace, because our enemies behaved when he was at the helm. Like him or not, he served us well and did not even take his salary as he donated them all for public use in government agencies. We can’t wait to vote for him in 2024 and the evil people will be dealt with by God.
