Political media figures and others cruelly mocked the news that former President Donald Trump’s new “communications platform” has been shut down forever after only 29 days.
On Wednesday morning, Twitter users began noticing that the blog that was described as a new “communications platform” for Trump appeared to have disappeared, and in short order, that news was confirmed by senior Trump spokesman Jason Miller.
The news drew instant mockery from a variety of celebrities, pundits, and other media figures — including many journalists:
“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on”… LOL, imagine relying on this guy to spin your failures https://t.co/hEvi4yeRNL

Trump remains banned from all of the most widely-used social media platforms, but his blog was not much of a substitute, traffic-wise. According to one report, the most popular post on the site garnered 16,000 engagements.
