Twitter permanently suspends Trump's account:

US President Donald Trump has been permanently suspended from Twitter "due to the risk of further incitement of violence", the company says.

Twitter said the decision was made "after close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them".

Mr Trump had earlier been locked out of his account for 12 hours.

Twitter then said that it would ban Mr Trump "permanently" if he breached the platform's rules again.

Reacting to the permanent ban, Trump 2020 campaign adviser Jason Miller tweeted: "Disgusting... if you don't think they're coming for you next, you're wrong."

It comes after Mr Trump tweeted several messages on Wednesday, calling the people who stormed the US Capitol "patriots".

Hundreds of his supporters entered the Capitol building as the US Congress attempted to certify Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election. The ensuing violence led to the deaths of four civilians and a police officer.

The siege took place just hours after Trump addressed supporters and told them: "We will never give up; we will never concede."

[...] On Thursday, Facebook said it had suspended Mr Trump "indefinitely". The popular gaming platform Twitch also placed an indefinite ban on the outgoing president's channel, which he has used for rally broadcasts. So has Snapchat.

Two online Trump memorabilia stores were closed this week by e-commerce company Shopify. On Friday, Reddit banned its "donaldtrump" forum for the president's supporters.

[...] The big question now is, can Trumpism survive without the backing of mainstream media? Or will it simply slip into the shadows of the internet?

    do you know how many Neo-Bolsheviks' useful idiots are going to be slaughtered when this cold civil war goes hot? All you motherfuckers filling up minnosota with somalians, michigan with muslims, california with chinese, other places with congolese, etc? All the Jew "charities" funding and organizing it are going to die. All you race traitors cheering it on and clutching pearls whenever people even ask what's going on while they're being robbed, raped and murdered by niggers and central american gang members are going to be dragged down the street and left to feed your starving street dogs.

    As I said elsewhere: I like my porn to be about sex, not violence. You do you (but please, in the privacy of your own room!).

    Oh, my! Sounds serious!

    All you motherfuckers filling up minnosota with somalians, michigan with muslims, california with chinese, other places with congolese, etc?

    You forgot to mention the Germans, the Italians, and the Russians. I wonder why that is?

    All the Jew "charities" funding and organizing it are going to die.

    What about the Catholic and Lutheran charities? Are they going to die too? JUst asking for some friends.

    All you race traitors cheering it on and clutching pearls whenever people even ask what's going on while they're being robbed, raped and murdered by niggers and central american gang members are going to be dragged down the street and left to feed your starving street dogs.

    Like I said, this sounds serious! When did you say this was going to start? Also, could you leave your contact information in your next response? I think that some of the folks at your local mental health department might want to get in touch with you.

    Y'all couldn't even get enough people for a coup, how are you going to slaughter us? Your bullshit cult is too small, you don't have enough guns or money to make a dent.
      Every african-from-Africa I've met has been hard working, values education, and appreciates the relatively high levels of safety and freedom we have in the west. Without immigrants from war torn countries willing to do business in the inner city, how would we prevent total economic collapse in those ghettos? Without immigrants willing to work long hours for low wages, how would our remaining manufacturing jobs be filled? Who is going to do janitorial work?
