Aug 12, 2024, 09:17 AM

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has returned to the social media platform X with a new advertising campaign. This marks his first activity on the platform in nearly a year. The ads, which have been running in recent hours, do not appear on his profile, leading to speculation about potential technical issues or censorship. The campaign includes messages questioning the current state of the economy and border security compared to his presidency. The return has sparked reactions from users across the political spectrum, although some Premium+ users have reported not seeing the ads due to the absence of ads on their version of the platform. Trump's return comes ahead of a Space event with Elon Musk.
