The undisputed king of X, formerly Twitter, has returned. Well, kind of.

If you spend any time at all on X, you undoubtedly noticed a tweet from @realDonaldTrump in the wee hours of Monday morning. “They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you,” Trump wrote in a two-and-a-half minute campaign video. He closed with the hashtag #TrumponX.

It’s a pretty epic comeback. Booted off by former Twitter execs drunk on their own power, Trump has not been back on the platform since 2021. His account was reinstated by Elon Musk after he purchased the company, but by then, Trump had his own social media platform Truth Social.

It brings back the memory of Trump’s glory days, when libs still cowered in fear of mean tweets and his off-the-cuff remarks drove the news cycle every morning. Are we heading back to the halcyon days of Old Trump defiance? Is our Deus ex machina coming in the form of new nasty nicknames shouted from the virtual mountaintops?

Sadly, probably not. It may have been tweeted from Trump’s account, but it seems to be nothing more than an ad — albeit a pretty awesome one. When you go to Trump’s actual Twitter profile, the post does not come up; it only shows up algorithmically on your own feed.

However, later Monday he did post the same video again — and this time, it does show up on his profile. A few minutes later the tweets started rolling in, with several promoting his upcoming interview with Musk on the platform.


But unfortunately, they all seem like targeted campaign messages. They’re calculated, and that’s not a bad thing, but they’re a far cry from the uncensored bombs he used to drop daily. So Trump will probably not be riding back into Twitter battle — at least not regularly. But for now, be can just look back and enjoy some of his greatest hits.

The time he roasted Barney Frank:

The time he predicted Kristen Stewart’s villain arc:

The time he showed his love of Mexican culture:

The time he introduced us to “covfefe”:

The time he put Kim Jong Un in his place:

The time he dunked on Lebron:

The time he assured us he’s a “very stable genius”:

 

And of course, the time he called on everyone to “stay peaceful” on Jan. 6:

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
