Meta Reinstates Trump’s Facebook And Instagram Accounts

Trump's Twitter account was re-activated in November but, he has yet to post on it. It is expected that Trump will not use Facebook or Instagram again, either.

Meta has restored former President Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts after a two year ban.
