Former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has bid farewell to Spotify. She didn’t openly name Joe Rogan in her first tweet, but the names she thanked in her tweet are ones who left Spotify after issues with the platform not removing the veteran UFC commentator’s show.
In a tweet a few hours later, the ex-U.S. President’s niece vowed to not return to the platform (with the Mary Trump Show) unless they ban Rogan from it.
