Trump’s Mutual Account Permanently Suspended

Some of the biggest names in tech have recently taken steps against the online presence of the Donald Trump. Twitter, Facebook, and now Mutual have removed the President from their platform following last week’s attack on the U.S. Capital. And while many anticipated this move from major social media sites, no one expected the LDS dating app to throw its hat in the ring- and ultimately- throw the President out.

In a last ditch effort to maintain communication with his base, Trump joined Mutual on January 11 to “see what’s out there and meet new people;)” as recorded in his profile. The account was active for a total of five hours before multiple users reported its existence to customer support. In a statement on Monday evening, Mutual announced the removal of Trump from their platform.

“After close review, we have permanently suspended Donald Trump’s account due to the risk of further violence- both in encouraging additional attacks on democracy and increasing the chance of women falling for toxic men on this app,” said CEO Nicholas Moe. “The violence ends today.”

The company further mentioned that the President is neither single or a member of the church, to which many app users did not see an issue with. “Hasn’t stopped me before,” said BYU student and Mutual user Ryan Porter. Those who connected with Trump’s profile said the interaction came at a surprise but was nothing too uncommon from their previous experience on the app. 

“We had plans to mini golf this weekend,” said Mutual user Mkayleigh Roberts, who briefly matched with Trump. “He asked if we could connect on Gospel Living but it looks like I just got ghosted again. Typical.”
