Relevance is important in politics — and it can be fleeting.
That presents a challenge to a former president who might be seeking a return to the office but is banned from some of the largest social media platforms in the world, including Twitter and Facebook.
So it's perhaps no surprise then that Donald Trump is teasing the possibility of launching his own social media platform.
"I'm doing things having to do with putting our own platform out there that you'll be hearing about soon," Trump told Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe in a podcast that was released Monday.
With tens of millions of followers, Trump was one of the most dominant people on social media before his erasure following his false election claims and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Since then, his influence has been severely curtailed, mostly limited to emailed statements and television interviews that haven't dominated news cycles like his tweets used to.

Where is he going to get the Capital? At this point, I doubt anyone is going to lend him a few billion
