Let's us know when Trump can even remember the name of his social media platform and ever puts out more than a single post.
MAGA RETURN Trump says ‘I’m BACK’ on Truth Social and jokes about ‘covfefe’ after snubbing Twitter return despite Elon Musk takeover https://www.the-sun.com/news/5226751/trump-declares-im-back-on-truth-social-network/ FORMER President Donald Trump declares 'I'm BACK' on Truth Social network after vowing not to return to Twitter despite Elon Musk takeover. Trump posted for the first time after saying on April 25 he would be joining Truth Social within the next several days. "I'M BACK! #COVFEFE," the former president shared to the platform, making a reference to his infamous 2017 viral tweet. Trump also shared a photo of himself on his phone outside of Mar A Lago. The post signals Trump's return to social media following his being banned from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram after the events of January 6, 2021. Speaking to Fox News on April 25, Trump said, "I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH." "I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH." Twitter agreed to be acquired by Musk for $44 billion earlier this week. "I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means," Musk tweeted. While the status of the relationship between Trump and Musk is unclear, the former president has spoken out about returning to Twitter. "We’re taking in millions of people, and what we’re finding is that the response on TRUTH is much better than being on Twitter," Trump said. "The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter. "TRUTH Social will be a voice for me," Trump continued. "And that’s something nobody else can get." On its website, Truth Social states it is "America's 'Big Tent' social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology." Truth Social launched last month after a beta-testing period. The platform was created by Trump Media & Technology Group. Devin Nunes, the former California representative, serves as the company’s CEO.
Truth Social can’t find any advertisers and it’s getting embarrassing https://www.queerty.com/truth-social-cant-find-advertisers-getting-embarrassing-20220516 More bad news for Truth Social. According to a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Donald Trump‘s Twitter knockoff hasn’t attracted a single paying advertiser and likely won’t have any until at least next year, assuming it’s even still around then. Meanwhile, the app’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group, is bleeding money and “expects to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future.” In other words, this whole thing is going exactly like just about every other one of the ex-president’s business ventures. But don’t worry! Trump has a plan! Elon Musk said he would consider lifting Trump’s permanent Twitter ban should be acquire the blue bird platform for $44 billion later this year. If this happens, Trump says he’ll consider rejoining, but he’ll publish all his posts on Truth Social first then wait six hours before publishing the same content on any other site. How this is supposed to translate into revenue is anyone’s guess, but CBS News reports: In the short term, Truth Social appears to be banking on an agreement that could help bolster its user base: It will have a six-hour exclusive window on Trump’s messages, according to the filing. That means even if Twitter lifts its ban on Mr. Trump — which Tesla founder Elon Musk said he will do if he completes his proposed acquisition of the media company — there could be an hours-long lag before his comments appear on the blogging platform or other forums. More likely what will happen is Trump will post something stupid on Truth Social, someone will take a screenshot of it, and the post will appear on Twitter five seconds later, where everyone will mock it. Kinda like they did last week when he shared a meme declaring himself the “MAGA King.” Last week, Devin Nunes, who quit Congress to be CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, told the Federalist Radio Hour podcast that Twitter was “a waste of time,” describing the site as a “ghost town.” “Places like Twitter don’t have very many people,” Nunes said. “There’s just not very many real people if you have bot farms, left-wing bot farms, spam accounts, corporate accounts, and then you have a lot of dead accounts.” Coincidentally, last month, Business Insider reported that Truth Social was “like a conservative ghost town” that was “overrun by bots.” One of those bots was a verified account for Fox News, which resulted in the conservative propaganda network issuing a statement confirming, “We are not on Truth Social.”
So much for being "free speech platform"... Users of Donald Trump's Truth Social claim they were suspended after posting about Jan. 6 committee hearings https://www.businessinsider.com/truth-social-users-banned-jan-6-hearings-2022-6 Several Truth Social users claimed they were banned after posting about the Jan. 6 committee hearings. Users took to Twitter to complain about being suspended or experiencing technical difficulties with the site. The apparent banning of users contradicts the site's central promise to be a "free speech platform." (More at above url)
