Donald Trump Breaks X Silence With Campaign Ads ... 1 Year After Mug Shot
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is back on the social media platform that once booted him -- breaking a year-long silence on X to drop new campaign videos, and hyping his next big interview.
A two-and-a-half-minute ad that posted Monday morning not only serves to promote Trump's campaign, but ya can't ignore the timing of him using X after such a long break. It's no coincidence X owner Elon Musk will be interviewing Trump on a live stream Monday evening ... which will be hosted on Trump's X page.

Trump typically saves his social posts for his own platform, Truth Social, or TikTok -- and hasn't posted on X since August 2023, when he proudly uploaded his Georgia mug shot, and wrote, "Never surrender" ... raising millions for his campaign, in the process.

NBC, according to Colin, has diagnosed him with leprosy ... true, the network brass aren't doctors, but it's a fair assessment after the 'SNL' star had to leave the games because he was doing himself in with gashes, bites and infections.
