Actually, he may well have a new site.
Because of social medias blocking conservatives, new platforms are happening to give conservatives and free speech folks a place to go in oder to replace twitter and youtube and facebook--eg, Rumble and Parler.
From Newsweek:
"Social media platform Parler is topping Apple and Google download charts this week after Joe Biden's election victory over President Donald Trump. Pitched as an alternative to Facebook and Twitter, the Parler app has pitched itself as a "free speech" social network and is populated by Republican politicians and a variety of right wing personalities who have been exiled from mainstream services.
In the U.S. as of today, Parler is top of Apple's free download chart and the Google Play Store, according to data from analytics firm SensorTower, which indicated the app had attracted around 200,000 downloads last month, collectively on both stores. The exact size of the app's userbase is not fully clear, however Parler CEO John Matze indicated in a post yesterday that it had received up to two million new accounts. "We expected a million or so people today... but 2? You guys are crazy," he wrote.
As conservatives reel from Trump's defeat, well-followed users on Twitter have appealed for their readers to sign up to Parler in recent days, mostly citing censorship.
The app currently sits above TikTok, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in recent downloads.
Trump campaign advisor Katrina Pierson said last Friday that
Trump joining Parler would make Twitter "irrelevant," saying CEO Jack Dorsey "couldn't interfere with the election or censor Trump supporters anymore" while also promoting her own profile.
Several high-profile users are already active on the Parler platform, including Sen. Ted Cruz, Fox News host Sean Hannity, Congressman Devin Nunes and Eric Trump. The president does not have an active Parler profile, however his campaign does.
