"And this is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media, it is going to completely redefine the game, and everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does," he added.

Miller further said that Trump has been having "high-powered meetings" at Mar-a-Lago with various teams regarding the venture, and that "numerous companies" have approached the former US president.

Earlier in January, when Trump supporters tried to prevent certification of Joe Biden's victory by US Congress, Twitter, Twitch, Facebook and Instagram froze his accounts.
