https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-social-media-app-truth-social-set-released-monday-2022-2Former President Donald Trump's new social media platform is set to be released in the Apple App Store on Monday, Reuters reported.
In October, Trump announced he was launching the platform, called Truth Social, to "stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech." It's being launched under the recently created Trump Media & Technology Group, under which former GOP Rep. Devin Nunes serves as chief executive.

I'm sure put out some outrageous posts so that he makes the news all the time.
The best thing that MSM could do is to completely ignore him.
But what are the chances of that?

(26,257 posts)He wants to scam as much free cash flow into his pockets and not spend a dime more to continue to support a website that would have all of the bells and whistles on it, as other well developed web sites have.
tRump is too cheap (and too ignorant and dumb to really get his brains on a well-developed website).

(26,257 posts)those that seem to like tRump no matter what, no matter what the crimes, no matter what the financial fraud, no matter what numerous lies he continues to spread, will pay the $4.99 (I guess a year?).
It's the platform basing the app is what will determine the success or failure. Last time around, they shut down pretty quickly, lack of a basing platform for the app.
And you're right, I suspect that this site is going to be hacked to hell and remain hacked from day 1 till when it's shut down again.

Did Apple and Google wave through, not notice, the last 4 years of tfg inciting violence and a coup?
Someone please explain how 2 of the biggest companies on the planet are handing tfg a megaphone
in order to to spew and fund lies, hate, and organize?

(991 posts)My question is why are are these 2 companies offering their service/ platform to tfg.
Im disgusted with both these companies for doing this.
And I was an apple fan.
No more.
I really dont understand this. I am dumbfounded.
Would Apple and Google allow Hitler a space on their platform?

(37,847 posts)Twitter will sue the stuffing out of the orange buffoon for infringing on their trademark 'look-and-feel'. He will lose. Injunction. TFG's parking garage lawyer will appeal. He will lose. Repeat ad nauseum.
Frankly, I'm surprised Twitter isn't already on this. Amazon would have blasted out a cease and desist a week ago.
Who's hosting this tripe? My guess, somewhere in Pootie-poot land.
