Trump returns to Facebook and YouTube with first posts since Jan. 6

Former President Donald Trump recently made a boisterous return to social media by posting a video on both Facebook and YouTube; the first posts he's shared since the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol and his reinstatement to the social media platform.
Trump shared a quick video on both platforms with an all-caps caption that read, "I'm back." In the video, Trump featured a clip that highlighted the night he was elected president.
“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Trump says in the clip. “Complicated business. Complicated.”

The former president's social media posts were followed by another post shared on his Truth Social platform. In that post, he urged his followers to “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
Trump also wrote, "OUR NATION IS NOW THIRD WORLD & DYING. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD! THE RADICAL LEFT ANARCHISTS HAVE STOLLEN OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND WITH IT, THE HEART OF OUR OUR COUNTRY. AMERICAN PATRIOTS ARE BEING ARRESTED & HELD IN CAPTIVITY LIKE ANIMALS, WHILE CRIMINALS & LEFTIST THUGS ARE ALLOWED TO ROAM THE STREETS, KILLING & BURNING WITH NO RETRIBUTION. MILLIONS ARE FLOODING THROUGH OUR OPEN BOARDERS, MANY FROM PRISONS & MENTAL INSTITUTIONS. CRIME & INFLATION ARE DESTROYING OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE..."
"NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!" he added.
The latest posts come as Trump continues to navigate on the political campaign trail while facing a barrage of legal issues.
