After his election victory, Trump abstains from social media usage.

• Since winning the 2024 election, President-elect Donald Trump has not posted on Truth Social, the platform operated by his social media company Trump Media.
• Since defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, he has not posted on Elon Musk's X, Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook and Instagram, or TikTok.
• Trump disclosed to NBC News that he had conversed with approximately 70 global leaders, including Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine.

Despite being known for boasting about his achievements, Donald Trump has been quiet on social media since his election, despite achieving what is considered one of his greatest political accomplishments.

Since before all polls closed on Election Day, Trump has not posted on Truth Social, the platform operated by his social media company, and he has not trumpeted his victory on X, the social media site owned by his top campaign backer Elon Musk.

Since Tuesday, Trump's official Instagram and TikTok accounts have not been updated, with the most recent posts being video messages from Trump urging Republican voters to remain in line at their polling sites.

Is it unclear if Trump's social media absence is intentional or if he is simply taking a break after a campaign where he posted frequently?

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung stated that President Trump won a historic election and will now become the 47th President of the United States.

Several world leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Keir Starmer, have contacted Trump to express their congratulations.

Trump received congratulations from Vice President Kamala Harris, his defeated opponent, and President Joe Biden on his victory.

On Wednesday, Trump spent most of his time answering calls from world leaders from his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, and he has many more calls to respond to on Thursday.

Trump stated in an interview with NBC on Thursday that he has conversed with approximately 70 world leaders, including Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine. However, he has not yet spoken with Putin, the Russian President, but believes he will do so in the future.

Trump was scheduled to hold his first meeting with his presidential transition team on Thursday, according to NBC's report.
