At least it lasted longer than Scaramucci.
Former President Donald Trump’s recently created blog has been shuttered just one month after it debuted.
The outlet was dubbed “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” — and it basically served as a platform for Trump to moan about his problems…so…it was a blog.
As so many blogs have, it fizzled soon after being started and now it is dead. The platform “will not be returning,” Jason Miller, a senior Trump aide, told CNBC.
“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said.
Trump only needed “From the Desk of” because he’s been booted from nearly every major online platform after he inspired an insurrection at the nation’s Capitol. In fact, the blog was created on May 4, just one day before the Facebook Oversight Board was slated to announce a decision on Trump’s suspension from its platforms. The Board upheld the suspension but kicked the ultimate decision down the road.
Folks were quick to react to the news of Trump killing his blog because, honestly, it might be the most relatable thing he’s ever done. Who hasn’t hastily created a blog before spiking it a few weeks later?
RIP From the Desk of Donald Trump – May 4th 2021-June 2nd 2021

Liza Minnelli has outlived Donald Trump’s blog — “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” — where he shared false statements after social media companies banned him.

Of course, the former president might just be prepping for the launch of some new media venture. After all, the blogging world didn’t seem to suit Trump in the same way as rage tweeting or doing Fox News interviews. Also an NBC News report last month found hardly anybody was reading “From the Desk.”
