"Twitter is now in safe hands, and will no longer be run by radical left crazies who genuinely hate our country," he said on his network, Truth Social. The Republican billionaire hasn't said if he plans to return to the platform, from which he was banned after the Capitol stormed.

Elon Musk, the new boss of the social network, had opened the door in May to a return of Donald Trump on Twitter, which would have the effect of an explosion.

With his @realDonaldTrump account, the former American president spoke directly to his 88 million subscribers, regularly arousing heated controversy.

Donald Trump, however, felt that his Truth Social network worked "better" than Twitter, which he said "must work hard to get rid of all the fake accounts and bots that have hurt it so much".

“I LOVE TRUTH,” he added.
