Former President Donald Trump has returned to Facebook after a more than two-year ban.
“I’M BACK!” Trump posted on the site weeks after his personal account was reactivated. Trump, who is running his third campaign for the White House, also shared an old video clip in which he said: “Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business.”
He posted the same clip on YouTube, which announced that it, too, was welcoming him back.
Facebook parent Meta had said in January it would be restoring Trump‘s personal account in the coming weeks, ending the suspension it imposed in the wake of the January 6 insurrection, when Trump’s supporters violently stormed the US Capitol in a bid to halt the peaceful transition of power.
His access was restored to Facebook and Instagram on February 9, the company confirmed.
