After getting indefinitely suspended from some of his social media accounts, Donald Trump has officially been banned from Twitter as of today. Because the recent storming of the Capitol that happened under his presidency, many people, including famous musicians, have been extremely vocal on their thoughts about Trump being banned.
Laura Jane Grace, front woman for Laura Jane Grace & The Devouring Mothers, took to her Twitter account to share her excitement of the news on Trump. “Mmmm…delicious….nom nom nom nom nom” captioned Grace with a screenshot of Trump’s official Twitter account stating that it was suspended for violating the Twitter rules.

While this tweet doesn’t belong to a celebrity or musician, it adds to the humor that a lot are choosing to see in Trump getting banned from his Twitter. An account by the name of @barronjohn1946 said, “Hello I am brand new to Twitter, what are you guys up to.” The profile photo is what really seals the humor this profile is getting at. The photo is of Trump disguised with a mustache.
Hello I am brand new to Twitter, what are you guys up to
