Donald Trump kicked off Facebook again after site takes down interview posted on daughter-in-law’s page

Donald Trump has been kicked off Facebook again after the site removed an interview with him that was posted on his daughter-in-law’s page.

Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, posted a screengrab of an email she said was from Facebook which explained how the video had been taken down because it was “in line with the block” on his own accounts. It said anything posted “in the voice of Donald Trump” would be removed.

It comes after Trump was banned from Facebook (and Twitter and YouTube) in January following riots by his supporters on the Capitol building in Washington. His account is currently being investigated.

The email shared by Lara Trump said: “In line with the block we placed on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, further content posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the account.”

Interestingly, his appearance on the social media platform was flagged by press watchdog Media Matters. One of the watchdog’s senior staffers, Matthew Gertz, has recently been forced to defend himself after being mistaken for the Republican congressman, Matt Gaetz, who is being investigated by the Justice Department over allegedly violating sex trafficking laws.

Facebook confirmed to the Verge that it had removed the interview. indy100 has also contacted the social media giant for comment.

Meanwhile, it is not the first time of late that Trump’s family members have acted as his mouthpiece. Eric Trump recently appeared in an embarrassing Fox News interview in which he defended his father’s record on just about everything.

Responding to the ban, Sean Hannity, Fox News host and Trump supporter said it was “extreme censorship”.

But others were not as saddened by the news:
