Will You Download Trump's Social Media APP?

Former US President Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social became available for download in Apple's App Store on Sunday night, but some people had trouble creating an account. Despite this, it hit No. 1 in the App Store's top charts early Monday.

Donald Trump's social-media platform, Truth Social, has launched, in a limited form, on the US Apple App Store.

The app had similarities to Twitter, commentators noted - Mr Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube last year.

Last week, Donald Trump Jr shared a screenshot of his father's first "truth" on the social network: "Get ready. Your favourite president will see you soon."

Big tech

On its website, Truth Social describes itself as a "'big tent' social-media platform that encourages an open, free and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology".

Mr Trump wants Truth Social to champion "free speech" and eschew the "censorship" of sites such as Twitter and Facebook. It is a common view among conservatives Silicon Valley social-media companies are curtailing free speech by removing posts and users.

"We cannot use any of the big tech companies," Mr Nunes, who resigned from Congress in December to become TMTG's chief executive, told the conservative Newsmax network. "So we're having to build this from scratch."

Frozen out

Mr Nunes has vowed Truth Social will be a "censorship-free experience". But any social-media platform on the App Store, and Google Play, has to remove content that breaks the rules. And a truly uncensored platform would soon be frozen out.

"There simply is no way to avoid big tech," Mr West says. "Even if he has his own platform, if he's violating their terms of service, they could basically push his app out of their app store, which would make it very difficult for him to build an audience."

$Digital World Acquisition Corp(DWAC)$

In October, TMTG announced a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company, which would take the company public. TMTG later said it had raised $1bn in private investment in public equity financing.

    Trump is making headlines again with his newest App Truth Social! He still has tremendous support from his loyal supporters. 100000 people on wait list to download the App and it is the current Number 1 App in Apple!

    Truth Social said that there will be No Censorship and that's refreshing change from the normal social media channels.  Freedom of Speech is embedded in the American constitution and I am all for it!

    Truth Social will be the springboard for Trump's campaign for the next Presidential Election in 2024.  Go Trump!  You will make America Great Again! 🌟🌟🌟

    While Truth Social has a solid debut, topping the download charts, the moment of truth might be further down the road, whether it 1. grow its user base and sustain usage, 2. run foul with current authorities on potential misinformation

      So on balance I can’t truly support Trump as the two points above are likely to come true and the Truth (Social) will hurt [Grin]

    If the purpose is to share views which could include misinformation and untruth (think back COVID-19 times) in the guise of "free speech" or "no censorship", sooner or later the truth is, iOS and Android app store have to remove Truth Social or run foul with authorities. So the cold hardtruth is  - hard to support this latest Trump's venture

    It's a catchy name. If Truth Social can get (pay) a load of famous people on board, it'll take off.  Make it work like WhatsApp and they'll have a winner.  FB, Insta, Tweeter -> so yesterday.

    Related to trump. 

    Price increased too much, be careful investors... It "may" be a trap.

    Company have no significant operations. 

    I'm not saying it's bad... but it's too complicated.

    Neither support Donald Trump nor his social media. He is a rich business man hence he can do anything to gain support or popularity despite being banned by Twitter. His apps hence nobody can ban him.

    It’s a temp hype, don’t get trapped at the peak. There are loyal followers but regulations will come at some point in time to keep things in check. Not forgetting, this is not even a proven company!

    If we look objectively when Trump is in office, he will make sure Wall street get fat however main street remain poor. Launching Truth Social is a first step towards 2024 presidential election 😉

    I think he still believes that the presidential election was stolen from him, and the social media is just going to be his mouthpiece to push his agenda. Hence, I’m not with him nor his social media.

    His supporters will definitely support him and his social media. They will buy the shares and make it go to the moon. Haters gonna hate but who knows, they might FOMO.

    The era for twitter was when Trump is President. Now, the ex president is taking advantage over twitter creating his own app. Bet me, this app will boom coz trump is there, later Elon join🤣

    This is a good initiative to wake up the big techs that they dont necessarily hold a monopoly in these areas. However, this new app is linker to political aspirations and dont think it will take off

    Well, I am not a strong supporter of Trump. I have not heard of social media truth social before. Hope the app will violate the rule and bring some positive values to the whole society.
