On Wednesday, former President Trump officially announced the release of his own social media platform. The new platform will be called “TRUTH Social” and is set to go online at some point in early 2022. To quote Trump, “We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable.”
The operations of TRUTH Social will be overseen by the newly-formed Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which Trump is the chairman of. In addition to TRUTH Social, TMTG plans to launch a subscription service titled TMTG+. TMTG+ will feature content made by conservative contributors, such as podcasts, news shows, and entertainment shows. Prior to any of its products or services being launched, TMTG already has an initial valuation of over $1 billion.
According to a recent press release, “Trump Media & Technology Group’s mission is to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the ‘Big Tech’ companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.” TRUTH Social is currently available for pre-order in the Apple App Store and is expected to be available for pre-order in the Google Play Store in the coming days.
Trump’s move comes after he was banned by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube following the events that occurred at the Capitol on January 6th. Trump had a combined 150 million followers on the four platforms. Trump’s decision to launch his own social media platform also indicates that he will run for President in 2024 as he continues to remain the top voice for American conservatives. Further signaling that he will run in 2024, Trump held two large rallies in the crucial battleground states of Iowa and Georgia over the last month, where he criticized Joe Biden and discussed critical topics such as the economy and election integrity. Trump also surpassed Biden’s approval rating in a recent Quinnipiac poll, clearly showing that he would be a viable candidate if he chooses to extend his political career.
Since at least 68 percent of Republicans report using social media, it is likely that these individuals will join TRUTH Social. Further evidence that conservatives will use Trump’s TRUTH Social can be found in a recent poll that shows 54 percent of Republican voters would definitely “use a social media platform that was backed by former President Donald Trump.”
Considering the amount of energy that Trump has put into the development of the platform and the number of interactions each of Trump’s statements creates, it should be safe to assume that TRUTH Social will succeed in its effort to rival liberal social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter.
Leftist social media organizations constantly suppress and censor conservative opinions, making it extremely difficult for conservatives to prosper on their platforms. Trump’s TRUTH Social seems to be a tremendous solution to this significant issue.
awesome news. i will support this platform
Awesome!!!!!
Already have signed up.
I will join and support the Great American return to the values that made our nation the envy of the world!!!!
Yes! Good news! Please us know how where we can join. ????
Do we know how much the subscription will be at this time or is that just not posted yet but I think it’s a really good idea no I think it’s a great idea and I hope it will be watched just like they watch us posting the good stuff on everything else
Great news!! I will be joining along with other great American Patriots….I left Fakebook a year ago. Never a Twitter user…hardly ever on U-Tube.
FANTASTIC!! God bless America and DJT!!
I am signed up waitstaff for it to be operational
On pre order list ????❤️
I’m going to preorder “Truth” now! I’m also copying some of this article and post it on Facebook and My Story!!
This is good! Conservatives were about to be silenced because of the current social media platforms and actual mainstream media. The left wants to crush anyone that does not think the exact same as they do. We must be heard. Thank goodness for Trump!
I believe Truth Social will be a major media platform for conservatives!!! I’m ready to join now!!!! GO President Trump!!!! SUCCESS!!!!
I am signed up and pre ordered through App Store
I can’t wait!!!
I am truly glad President Trump is doing this. He is a fighter, for sure, and a true leader. He is not perfect, none of us are, but he is waaaay better than any democrat out there! Yeah, he is a very viable candidate.
Just as I support AMAC, I will definitely support the new Truth Media Platform as well. AARP has been catering to left wing ideas for years now. They are no longer anything that represents Patriotic Americans
It’s only for Apple at this time, which considering their stance against conservatives is amazing, ridiculous, and EXTREMELY IRONIC!
Thank you Mr. President!
I can’t wait to sign up for Truth Social. There are a great minority in Monterey County, California, who support you, particularly the Hispanic community. And we’re not staying quiet any longer. Much success, President Trump!Trump for President 2024!
I support and stand with President Trump 100 % . My answers to his posts are ALL being BLOCKED. I have NEVER BLOCKED ANY of his or his family’s or the supporters posts.
Can anyone join?
I have pre ordered through the AP
I’ll see you all there!
I am anxious for the opportunity to pre-order through the Playstore.
Wonderful
I hope he does, and I’d like to invest in it.
Interested in this social media platform. Will watch for the launch. I’ve been banned from Twitter for using term that was misconstrued as a threat on life of Pelosi. It actually was an old adage which meant she should face consequences for her blatant disregard of the US Constitution. Would be nice to confer with adult or at least mature persons instead of having to deal with the shadowing of the culture-cancelling ilk of Twitter or FB.
It’ll be nice to be on a platform and not be put in jail because you said something Facebook or Twitter doesn’t agree with. Can’t wait for Trumps site.
Will there be any way to buy stock in it?
Truth Social will be a great resource for the conservative movement to move forward and organize nationally. I for one cannot wait!. We’re with you President Trump.
I was hoping Mr. Trump would do something like this. Thank you!!!!!!
Awesome! Still believing in you, supporting you as much as I possibly can. Unfortunately the administration is causing financial hardships for most all Americans, which causes us to tighten down on our spending. Get YOUR office BACK!
About time! Such wonderful news. I can’t wait.
This is fantastic news!
Go 45! And dare I say 47!!!
I have stayed off social media for almost a year now, but I have now pre-ordered Truth Social. Looking forward to having this platform.
Meanwhile join GETTR, Telegram, Gab, Rumble
Finally, an escape from the constant socialist/ communist trivia and brainwashing on the current platforms.
I look forward to President Trumps new media platform…and hope he runs for President in 2024. He has MY VOTE!!
He doesn’t need to run, just facilitate new young candidate.
I wish the President nothing but success on this venture…I for one do not subscribe to any social media platforms, however a conservative based platform may be just the ticket for me to reconsider…
A fair WARNING to those pre-ordering on Apple or Google, why tell tell these Marxist driven organizations of your plans in advance? Now they will have YOU on the record as being pro Trump…
Simply be smart & patient, sign up when it becomes available, done…
Bill on the Hill… :~)
It is about time we had a site to go to where conservatives can go to and express their thoughts without having to worry about being banned and having their freedom of speech violated. For those who do not think Trump should run again, think of how badly the country is doing right now! Wouldn’t you rather have a President that can get things done even if he is not politically correct and doesn’t stay silent when he is attacked? His tweets were a small price to pay for a President who can effectively run our nation.
The challenge is that partitioning citizens who all think alike is means there is less debate The willingness to express an argument and think about the response has been a source of learning and growth. We do not want to lose this, but in some ways we have already lost that. We are living in extremely dangerous times.
I think he got the title wrong because a lot of what is going to be put on there is from the left. It should have been “Freedom Social”
I for one will be glad when its fully operational, people need to be able to express their views without fear of censorship as long as they don’t make stupid threats of violence, speak as harshly as you want, but leave the threats to the left.
YAY…GO TRUMP!!!!
Love it can’t wait. We need to even the playing field. Are voices must heard
That’s got to be troubling to so many in media. I’ll be there when it’s fully operational.
This has to wrinkle a few panties in media.
Wow, can’t wait! My best to President Trump and this platform. Now we will watch the socialist liberals try to discredit and destroy this. It will be launched just in time for the ’22 election. It will be so worth it to watch the liberals squirm and cry “foul ball”!
