US President Donald Trump and former V8 Race car driver turned pornstar Renee Gracie have more in common than you may think with the pair both being banned from social media.

Both the outgoing president and the adult industry bombshell were censured by Twitter and Instagram.

The 26-year-old told The Daily Telegraph she had no warnings or notice before she was taken offline.

“I feel like Donald Trump,” she joked.

“When I told my Dad I had been banned he said ‘you’ve done Donald Trump’ and I said I’m not inciting violence – make love not war.

“He (President Trump) is an example of how these social media platforms are starting to take responsibility. The last week has proven that.”

President Trump was first banned by Twitter as rioters stormed the US Capitol building. He was shut-out of his account for a few hours before returning to the platform.

Facebook followed their lead banning the president for the rest of his term.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that removing or labelling Trump‘s was not enough to quell potential violence or riots.

“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” he said.

“Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.”

Ms Gracie has become one of OnlyFans biggest earning almost $2 million from subscribers. The tattooed bombshell raked in $500,000 in a single month.

The 26-year-old has previously said she was forced out of racing due to the cost of the sport.

The Gold Coast native explained she never even paid tax when she was a Supercars driver – meaning was earning less than $18,200 a year.
