Trump Uses His New Social Media Site to Share QAnon Content

Vice

At the start of February, the team behind former President Donald Trump’s news social media platform, Truth Social, was scrambling to get things ready for the big launch later that month.

As well as trying to get the apps to work properly, the team wanted to ensure there was no repeat of the fiasco months earlier, when they launched a beta version of the site and someone set up a @realDonaldTrump account and posted a picture of a pig taking a shit.

And so on February 10, over a week before the platform went live, the developers set up Trump’s account.

But that account was not the first one set up on the platform. A full 24-hours earlier, the developers running Truth Social set up an account with a single letter in its name: @Q.

Now, four months later, the platform is overrun with QAnon content, pushed by multiple QAnon influencers who have been given verified profiles on the platform. And now, Trump himself is boosting the QAnon content, resharing dozens of posts containing QAnon imagery, phrases, or memes.

1. Mass psychosis based on paranoia and belief in lieu of facts and logic

To me it's like an emotional virus. I'm so tired of it.

2. Well, what were the odds that this would happen?

Very Very High. Trump dwells in a world of conspiracy. He does not function well in the shared reality because aside from the wealth that he inherited and his con man's ability to manipulate people (which would likely have been NOTHING without the money) he is not special, at all.

Truth Social was always destined to be a meeting place for the worst people on social media. Word is that people are being suspended or banned for discussing anything related to the January 6th Committee hearings. So much for "free speech". The app will fail, eventually.

3. In other words...

Trump’s investors spent untold millions to create the next 8chan.

I have always believed Trump himself was Q, so that his new “free speech” site is overrun with QAnon content is not surprising.

5. It's 8chan designed for an older demographic to navigate

That's all it is, a site Trump and his minions can all figure out how to read and post on.

4. What else would it be used for?

These are the ones who cannot post on other mainstream social media anymore. I thought it was a given this venue was for them to propagate their conspiracies unabated? That was the whole premise of the need for the new platform.

6. Does JFK post there often? LOL.

7. Another ripoff site I'm sure. One way or the other, tRUMP will figure out yet another scheme

to rip off money from these people. And per another DU article/post, has already sucked up $250 million plus (I, IMHO, think it's much more, by tens and tens of millions of dollars). All of this money went to support Idiot's businesses which are failing by the wayside (my viewpoint, but w/ the way he goes through cash, the way he ran his admin., anything he touched getting ended going into the trash).

I wonder, was any of this money declared as income (since it wasn't used for election purposes)? Stinks to high heaven of tax fraud.
