MySpace had every reason to trend on Twitter after President Donald Trump’s official Twitter handle and Facebook accounts were suspended for breaking rules against glorifying violence. These suspensions follow after his account was initially blocked for posting a string of tweets misleading users about the results of the presidential election and also encouraging the mob that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday (January 6) that had devastating effects and became a topic of discussion globally.

With Trump’s social media accounts now deactivated, the joke on Twitter is if he would scramble on to his MySpace account next. “@realDonaldTrump has lost his Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. At least he still has MySpace,” read one of the tweets. This was seconded by another who wrote: “Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter, and at least temporarily from Facebook. I honestly don’t know if it’s a joke, but they say MySpace too. #WhyIsTrumpStillPresident.”

The trolls weren’t far away either. “Who Owns Myspace now?” read one of the comments. “Trump is currently reaching out to Tom at myspace…stay tuned,” another seconded.

“No fair! I was banned by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, MySpace, Apple, Google & Parlor! Everyone says I incited an insurrection to my #MAGATerrorists but take a closer look – I didn’t say ‘SIMON SAYS!’ C’mon, Jack Dorsey…be a sport! No collusion, no sedition! #TrumpBanned,” read a tweet.

For some, the return of MySpace was more of a nostalgia thing. “I see #MySpace is trending again and all I want to know is when can we make this happen again. Y’all really canceled @Myspace just as I was starting to find my way.”

MySpace Tom wasn’t forgotten either. “@myspacetom please tell me why you been literally having the same profile pic since MySpace lbs,” one remarked.

Some felt that Trump would be banned on this platform too. “To be fair, @myspacetom would of had him blocked wayyyyyy before this,” a tweet read.

“I don’t know what is more pathetic, being banned from MySpace or Trump possibly attempting to use MySpace as his last resort to post more bullsh*t. Must be sad to know that not even @myspacetom is your friend,” one of the netizens remarked.

According to Bloomberg, Twitter had demanded that Trump delete three offending tweets and also issued a warning at the time saying he would be permanently banned from the platform. His account, which had more than 88M followers, was restored on January 7. His posts on January 8 included a tweet saying he would not be attending President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. This led to Twitter determining the tweets violated its policies when “read in the context of broader events in the country”.
