After a series of fits and starts, Trump announced the formation of TRUTH Social on Wednesday night -- an effort, he insisted, to "stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech."

2. The conservative social space is crowded (and not doing well)
3. Donald Trump isn't president anymore

Under each of the three reasons is an explanation. The 2nd one is a re-cap of the various social media tries by conservatives and how they've flopped.

3. Apparently major investors who didn't realize Trump was involved are also bailing. One guy

5. There's an even more logical reason

everything he touches fails
