I absolutely detest Trump and fully supported his removal from any and all platforms run by private companies much earlier than it happened, HOWEVER this is yet another indicator that our world runs through monopolies.

They're holding back everything, including shareholders. Break. Them. Up.

I kept hearing about this blog he started, but had absolutely no idea where it lived. I think I once tried to Google it, but the results were all news articles about the blog and I didn’t care to try to look any further.

Does anyone have a link perhaps to an archived mirror?

Bizarrely, the "blogs" are still preserved on the current website but have been transformed into press releases(?) under the News section[1] with each post titled "Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America".

It indicates nothing of the sort. His site was on the public web, freely accessible to anyone with a browser. It was being shared on social media. There were no "monopolies" holding him back, rather, he's no longer politically relevant, so his garbage content isn't worth covering, and his base has all but lost interest in him.
