After Trump Was Kicked Off Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Questions Surround How He Will Talk To Nation

President Trump’s social media accounts have been banned or blocked at least until Inauguration Day. After the pro-Trump rally on Wednesday turned into a riot at the Capitol, Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Twitch, Shopify, Google, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok and Discord.
Silencing Trump from social media platforms creates questions as to how the commander-in-chief will communicate with the public in his final 10 days in office and with a potential impeachment coming as soon as Monday. Trump had posted an average of about 30 tweets a day and even used Twitter to announce when he would make media appearances.
