Elon Musk

mentioned Tuesday that he’d invite

Donald Trump

to return to

Twitter

if his acquisition of the social-media firm succeeds, and good for him. Liberal Twitter is appalled, however we marvel if returning would assist or damage the previous President.

Twitter banned Mr. Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the Capitol, and the fixed din of his media presence has since been muted. He communicates with emailed statements and occasional interviews with pleasant journalists.

Our sense is that this may occasionally have helped Mr. Trump. With him out of the highlight, People haven’t needed to hearken to the each day controversies that dominated his Presidency and had been a serious motive he misplaced to

Joe Biden,

of all candidates.

As an alternative the general public focus has been on President Biden’s insurance policies and their outcomes. Voters can distinction in the present day’s inflation and the remainder to the relative coverage success of the Trump years.

If Mr. Trump is again in public view, selecting fights on an hourly foundation and blaming everybody else for his election defeat, he may remind voters why they grew bored with his antics and made him a one-term President.
