PRESIDENT TRUMP: We don't have a president right now — and Kamala is even worse.
She's a San Francisco liberal who destroyed that city, destroyed California, and will DESTROY OUR COUNTRY if she's elected.#TrumpOnX pic.twitter.com/myUKzBwjcK

Trump was banned from Twitter in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Since Musk allowed him to return when he bought the social media platform in 2022, Trump has only posted once before today, a picture of his first mugshot last summer.
Twitter/X owner Elon Musk blamed the event not starting on time on a “massive DDOS attack” and said they are working on solving the problem.
There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down.
Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.
