New social media platform rescues Donald Trump interview after Facebook removes it

Lara Trump's podcast "The Right View" debuted on Clouthub soon after Facebook and Instagram removed her Donald Trump interview, Clouthub CEO Jeff Brain told Just the News.

The platform distinguishes itself from Big Tech competitors by promising not to "Data-mine, track, or sell user data ... suppress your reach or manipulate what you get to see." Clouthub didn't previously seek to woo Lara Trump, but "We fully intend to have Donald Trump on our platform," with its partners reaching out to the former president, Brain said.

"He is a populist president and our platform is a populist platform." Technology to host virtual Trump rallies Eric Trump, Lara's husband and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, shared an email from Facebook Tuesday night warning that any content "In the voice of Trump" would be removed from its platforms, including Instagram.

Less than half an hour after that warning, the same sender notified Lara Trump's account that the Donald Trump interview had been removed, according to the message Lara posted.

Clouthub promoted the Donald Trump interview Thursday morning in a reply to Eric Trump's tweet.

A few hours later it teased "The interview of President Trump that every major platform has deleted." Brain, the Clouthub CEO, said the removal of Trump's "Voice" illustrated the value of his platform, which was in development for three years and initially funded by a loan he took out on his house.

Brain believes "The left will want to use" Clouthub's tools for their own organizing, and to hear Trump's message if the former president creates his own channel.
