The claim is supported: multiple sources report that Trump's Twitter account was suspended and permanently banned in January 2021, that Facebook and Instagram suspended his accounts for the same period, and that Snapchat permanently banned him in January 2021. The extracted claim faithfully drops the post's word 'even' and does not add anything the post doesn't say.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What was said
… "Hey, look, we're here to to play ball." Jimmy Kimmel took to late night television to react to that, and Pro-America Politics posted it with a note about who you should and should not take lectures from on the subject of censorship.

The Michael Berry Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Twitter permanently suspended Trump's @realDonaldTrump account on Jan. 8, 2021, after the Capitol riot, and AP reported the ban kept him off the platform until Musk reinstated it in 2022.[1][2]
Supports. Facebook and Instagram suspended Trump's accounts following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, and BBC reported that Facebook later suspended them for two years from Jan. 7, 2021.[2][3]
Supports. Snapchat permanently banned Trump's account on Jan. 13, 2021, which USA Today and Politico both report.[2][4]
Context. The Facebook and Instagram suspension was later lifted in January 2023, but the claim uses the past tense ('was suspended'), so the later reinstatement does not make it false.[5]
