Former President Trump on Thursday posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since January 2021 to share an image of his mugshot following his surrender in Fulton County, Ga., on Thursday evening.
It was the first time Trump posted on the social media platform since his account was suspended shortly after the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. Trump was known during his 2016 campaign and his first term in the White House for using Twitter prolifically to share everything from jabs at his political opponents and to announcing major decisions out of the White House.
Trump had already posted the mugshot Thursday on Truth Social, a platform that he has a financial stake in just before he unexpectedly posted on X on his @realdonaldtrump handle, which had been dormant for more than two years.
There are stipulations that require Trump to post content exclusively to Truth Social before putting it on another platform.

And here I thought he'd never come back, but I guess this is just another chance for him to violate his release conditions in four separate cases https://t.co/HKCWOwa9J2
