The Facts
Former US Pres. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, returned to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday by sitting with X owner Elon Musk for an X Spaces interview that covered several topics, including the EU, China, climate change, immigration, and Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump, a frequent poster on Twitter during his presidency, was banned from the platform after the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the US Capitol, but Musk reinstated him shortly after purchasing the site in October 2022. However, Trump had posted just once since his return.
The Spin
Republican narrative
This was a great opportunity for Trump to have a laid-back chat with one of the most famous men on Earth in front of a worldwide audience and elaborate on his policy issues, including immigration, inflation, and education. Meanwhile, Harris continues to dodge the media while refusing to answer questions about her extreme-left positions on these issues.
Democratic narrative
Chalk this up as another trainwreck for the Trump campaign. The interview was hampered by technical difficulties and Trump's speaking troubles. Most of all, it was filled with his rantings that have been disproven time and again. Harris' growing popularity is obviously pushing the former president to the edge and his campaign can't stop the freefall.
