A Shady App Is Tricking Trump Supporters Into Thinking They've Joined the True Truth Social
An Android app using a similar name to Trump's social media site has gotten well over 100,000 downloads and offers in-app purchases.
An apparent rip-off of Donald Trump's social media network Truth Social has racked up downloads in the six figures on Google's Play Store, causing confusion by MAGA types who failed to realize the distinction.
Insider first reported that the app, which is titled "MAGA Hub -- Truth Social Trump" on the Play Store, has crossed 100,000 downloads as of Tuesday....
MAGA Hub, for what it's worth, contains $28.99 in-app purchases with an unclear purpose and automatically subscribes users to a global chat group which Insider reports sends out "a constant stream of memes and messages."....
Looking to extract money from the rubes? Spewing out a flood of spam? No wonder it fooled the MAGAtroids -- it looks just like an actual Trump operation!

I don't think he needs to 'trick' them, they are quite willing to give him money as it is! (n/t)

but Trump lives for the grift. He doesn't have to steal it, but he thinks it's just so damned much fun, he can't help himself.
