In related development, Trump said his two-year ban by Facebook was an "insult" to voters, as he signaled he sees himself making a return to the White House. "Facebook's ruling is an insult to the record-setting 75M people, plus many others, who voted for us in the 2020 Rigged Presidential Election," Trump said in a brief statement, renewing his false claims that last November's race was stolen from him. Trump, 74, has repeatedly teased the prospect of another White House bid, despite being impeached by the House of Representatives - and acquitted by the Senate - for inciting the January 6 insurrection. "Next time I'm in the White House there will be no more dinners, at his request, with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife," Trump said of Facebook's chief executive. There is no provision in the US Constitution that allows a defeated president to be reinstated after a certified election.
