Trump claims NYC courthouse staff were ‘crying’ when he was arrested
Donald Trump has returned to Instagram for the first time since the January 6 Capitol riot – to plug his latest release of NFT trading cards.
The former president was banned from the social media platform back in January 2021 after a mob of his supporters stormed the US Capitol in a riot that resulted in several deaths.
The social media platform allowed his account back earlier this year but Mr Trump was yet to post on it – instead continuing to post on his Truth Social platform instead.
On Tuesday, he finally made his return to Instagram with several posts pushing his new digital trading cards.
The former president instantly became a source of mockery over the digital images – showing him grilling on a BBQ, as Elvis and as the Liberty Bell.
The release comes as a judge ruled that Mr Trump’s rape case against E Jean Carroll will go ahead as planned next week – knocking back the former president’s request for a delay.
