Twitter confirms Trump's ban is permanent, even if he runs again in 2024

Donald Trump and Twitter are never, ever, ever getting back together. Not even if he runs for president again in the future.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to Mashable on Wednesday morning that the former president's suspension from the service is permanent and will not be lifted even if Trump were to run for president in 2024.

You may recall that Trump's personal account was permanently suspended from Twitter on Jan. 8 after a review determined that several of his tweets related to the Capitol riots carried a "risk of further incitement of violence."

In a Jan. 8 blog post announcing Trump's permanent suspension Twitter explained that although its "public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly," the platform also has a responsibility to hold those people accountable when they clearly violate rules.

"...We made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things," the post stated. Twitter then highlighted two Trump tweets related to the violent acts at the Capitol that it felt had the potential to incite further violence.

In addition to Twitter, several other social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram (which is owned by Facebook,) Snapchat, and Twitch took action against Trump back in January. But Trump's hopes of getting back on Twitter if he were to run for president in 2024 are now officially squashed.
