“I don’t see any reason for it, they have a lot of problems at Twitter, you see what’s going on. It may make it, it may not make it,” Trump said during the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting on Saturday.
Trump also signaled on Truth Social that he would be sticking with his social media platform and not begin tweeting gain.
“Vote now with positivity, but don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere. Truth Social is special!” Trump wrote on Saturday.

“And lead us not into temptation,” the billionaire wrote.
