Donald Trump has started a blog

Former President Donald Trump has launched a new communications platform, Fox News reports.

It's been months since Trump has been on social media, but he'll now once again be able to communicate with his followers via "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump," a new section on his website.

It will presumably be a more efficient method of communication than releasing statements through the press (all of which have already been posted to the new site) as he's done since he was banned from Twitter and Facebook following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But the discussion will only be "one-way," a source familiar with the endeavor told Fox News. No one will be able to reply to or interact with Trump's posts. They'll just be able to read them, which is why many people are pointing out that Trump has essentially just launched a blog.
