Trump Media and Technology Group

If I were a betting man, and past performance were an indicator of future results for a Trump venture...

“After over A YEAR of muzzling by the Liberal Big Tech Tyrants: TRUMP. IS. BACK,” wrote GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in a fundraising email appeal Monday.

Groups like the Republican National Committee and the Congressional Leadership Fund also have been fundraising off the launch.

The grift abides. Why is it only with the tech companies that Republicans push back against big business?

Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Banks have been their darlings for decades.

The end user agreement is interesting in particular users must agree to not “disparage, tarnish or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.”

The ‘truth’ as long as if doesn’t hurt our poor widdle feelings.

Farewell Twitter!

It won’t put them out of business but it will hurt them no doubt, but the most important thing will be that they will have competition and conservatives will never be silenced again. So that’s a great new change.

None of alternative messaging platforms already open to public, such as Gettr and Parler, have been able to move beyond an echo chamber of conservative political commentary.

Enjoy! With no libs to own, you’ll soon get bored.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's social media app that he hopes will rival Twitter launched Monday as he seeks a new digital stage to rally his supporters and fight Big Tech limits on speech a year after he was banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

And the first set of Truth Social guests will be;

Rudy Giuliani on the "Art of the Coup" - how to make up fraudulent state electors and fake certification lists...

Sidney Powell on the self-own - how to defend yourself in court by stating "no reasonable person should believe anything I say"....

Eric Trump on 500 ways to plead the 5th...

And lastly, the CEO himself on securing Top Secret info in a box in a closet...

No doubt this venture will turn out like those other successful Trump enterprises Trump University, Trump Airlines, and Trump Atlantic City Taj Mahal Resort and Casino....

There will be no changes on Twitter and the truth is Trump's project will fail as soon as he has taken enough money for his pockets.

Ahhh, more liberals that proclaim to be clairvoyants….interesting

It's always a scam with him like his university.

Most of the liberal run social medias are scams

Anyone can read Twitter but on Trump's Truth, you have to join up. Collecting email addresses for future scams

Yes, since most of the sponsors are liberals and sponsors liberal outlets and media platforms, so yeah, private donations are the way. Interesting, the liberal cry babies want conservatives to support Biden’s failing Russia policies but they want conservatives to boycott Trump’s new media platform….interesting….

You use Twitter.

Liberals mad. “If you want your own then build it”. Ok we did.

see you there- even though you aren’t really invited.

According to Apple’s rankings, Truth Social was the top free app in the U.S.

-3 ( +6 / -9 )

This won’t affect Twitter or the other sites in any way because the people who join truth social will still use Twitter.

Oh they’ll jump up and down and swear that they don’t. But they do.

“Due to massive demand, we have placed you on our waitlist,” read a message some of those trying to access the platform, adding, “We love you.

Ten people tried to download the app and crashed the server but I'm a bit slow so I believe this version and I'm willing to wait patiently too.

Indeed. They can have the whole app to themselves and no one else will have to put up with them.

I've been laughing about this since morning, 'Truth' and trump in the same sentence is hilarious!!!

“Our main goal here is to give people their voice back," Trump Media CEO and former GOP Congressman Devin Nunes said Sunday on Fox News.

Nunes tried his best to sue cows on twitter and failed.

I am sure he will try to keep his bovine enemies off the dark web for bigots!

I Won't be up and running until after March at the earliest.

The date for the launch is not important as the lunch itself.

Indeed. They can have the whole app to themselves and no one else will have to put up with them.

I agree!! Now true Freedom can finally reign! For once we are in agreement on something. Yippee!

Sure we remember the resounding success of the trump website which was shut down within a few months.

There are a lot of people registering to prank trump, so the next few weeks are going to be hilarious.

And someone with as low intelligence as Nunes as it head, this is going to be the funniest thing ever for 2022!!!

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

Not really

OK.

The date for the launch is not important as the lunch itself.

I think lunch is the best meal of the day.

see you there- even though you aren’t really invited.

Why would anyone not be invited to a totally open free-speech environment?

Unless it isn't really about free speech.

Conservative talking shop behind closed doors.

No, directly!

so you have the app, yes?

Does a fish swim?

Seen Jordan Klepper have fun with the MAGA crowds?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y4KUQbAdMg

I think there will be a lot of registrations under anonymous accounts just to have fun riling up the MAGA bunch with fake CRT outrages and tales of George Soros in his underground lair.

I assume you're not talking about "The Wall"....

Thanks - for not inviting us to the sewer....

No, directly!

Directly to each other, behind closed doors.

guarantee all the usual liberal Twitter trolls are signed up on the waiting list.

Which was nearly 200,000 people waiting last I saw.

It took all the other social media platforms months/years to get to 1 million users.

this one? a month or two at most?

Farewell Twitter!

I don’t think the walls will close in on Twitter if you leave or that this will lead to its demise.

I’m all in favour of free speech. I’m sure we’ll get plenty of intellectual discussion on stolen elections, staged shootings, Jewish space lasers and the like.

Trump 2024!

The app should also come with word search games, virtual crayon coloring games and virtual playdough games..

Perfect for IQ of the Trump fanatics who download the app..

It took all the other social media platforms months/years to get to 1 million users.

Twitter has 350 million users.

But aim for the stars!

trump has $450 million in debt, his followers probably think that is an achievement!!!

Indeed, all the ones working for the Russian IRA...

Which was nearly 200,000 people waiting last I saw.

With 190K having an IP address in Moscow....

this one? a month or two at most?

Nope, stealing Top Secret info then hiding it unsecured for a year will definitely bring you more time than a month or two...

Truth Social was established to do two things;

Allow Trump to continue fleecing his flock...

Allow Putin to inject his propaganda directly into the MAGA-sphere, continuing to manipulate and play the MAGA-faithful....

trump has $450 million in debt, his followers probably think that is an achievement!!!

Also, being tried for tax fraud is considered a badge of honor amongst his supporters!

He is screwing it to "the man!" YEEAAAHH!

Sounds like you are all in favour of echo-chambers.

I didn’t get that feeling given you railing against ‘liberal’ ones in the past.

I guess it’s a partisan rather than principle thing.

Makes sense.

"Directly to each other, behind closed doors."

Cut ourselves out, thanks. It would be a sad state of affairs if I couldn't think of better ways to waste my time than getting some app to read comments by Trump groupies ranting on about all the things they like ranting on about.

There's a waiting list for free speech?

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

We’ll be hearing a lot about this over the coming months then it’ll slowly but surely fall off the radar, just like Parler and Frank. Both were heralded as a new dawn of free speech, both have less users combined than followers for most low ranking celebs on Twitter.

The numbers of people registering for Trump's app will never exceed his per dollar what he owes in debts.

And uh….how would you know this? Oh, yeah, liberals claim they know everything…

Cut ourselves out, thanks.

Anytime!

Liberals do it everyday as well on every single site that allows comments, a few come to mind…..

Looks like Trump finally got the safe space he needed. Good for him.

How come Fox website still uses embedded Tweets? They didn't replace Twitter with TrumpBook. If you look at their pages with updated feeds it's just with Liberal Twitter and the reason is TrumpBook is about as reliable as the Trump wall.

I agree and if trolls want to stir something up they can get blocked….but then again, they would have the freedom of speech to dissent, maybe Twitter can learn something from that.

Can you get the app in Japan?

No. If you search for the app in the Apple Store the first result is Twitter. Har!

No they wouldn’t. Read the terms of use.

Not interested. I am however interested in “Talking Ben the Dog”, the children’s game that this new right wing social network beat in the charts.

2 ( +2 / -0 )

The maths is not difficult.

Lol, when liberals talk about math, I just can’t stop laughing,

Only available on iOS, only in America, only in English.

Great for now and people outside that want it can will find a way, this is 2022 not 1996

If the entire American nation of 320 million registered would still be less than all the dollars he owes.*

Don't relax, don’t worry about the numbers of people that sign on, you hate the guy anyway so it shouldn’t be of any concern to you since in your opinion he’s irrelevant.

I predict its membership will be less than 50 million.

I predict it will be more than 50 million.

I anticipate Truth Social will rival SNL and Colbert for MAGA-world comedy gold...where else could you get;

Marjory Taylor Greene talking about religious-funded space lasers helping keep Texas warm during electrical grid blackouts...

An interview with Hugo Chavez on stealing elections...from the grave...

Rudy Giuliani on adult bookstores, lumber yards and hair care...

The Mazar Accounting Firm on how to avoid being an accessory to tax and insurance fraud...

Clorox - a medical miracle...

Guaranteed to be a laugh a minute...I'm signing up now....

Great, your predictions always go south.

Nope! Not in 2011, 2014, 2016 all the faux Mueller investigations, right on the acquittals (twice) and the Dems losing the House this year and mostly likely the Senate after that and the Presidency as well going forward.

-6 ( +1 / -7 )

but then again, they would have the freedom of speech to dissent

Not if they're being censored by "Truth Media." Lol I have 0 interest in joining this dumpster fire, but it's quite funny for a site to claim to be all about free speech to threaten to ban people for exercising for saying things Trump et al don't like. It's almost like they're not really interested in free speech at all. hmm

So you don’t have the app then?

When is this this trash talking big mouth sassymouth going to shut up? He has scarred the nation with incalculable damage and America just doesn't like, need or want him. He needs to have ALL social media access blocked permanently as well as being put into prison for all his crimes - which basically has been everything he's said and done. At best he is a Qaddafi, a total troublemaker who is NO GOOD.

When is this this trash talking big mouth sassymouth going to shut up?

Like all of us when we pass away.

He has scarred the nation

Oh... No, he didn't, especially when you look at it now this past year, can't even recognize it.

with incalculable damage and America just doesn't like, need or want him.

He didn't create inflation, allowed illegals to go in, allowed for the military to become weak and woke, was unapologetic to our adversaries, never showed his hand, was tough on crime, supported our police and deeply, supported energy independence and we have none of that, so yeah, we do need him or someone like him. Biden is definitely not going to be it in 2024, at this rate if the Dems come back after 3 election cycles it will be nothing short of a miracle.

He needs to have ALL social media access blocked permanently

Why do you and the left hate free speech? You talk about democracy and yet, you want it banned for him. I don't want anyone banned, I want to hear and see and know what these funny people are up to. I truly and fundamentally believe we should never ban freedom of speech, you don't like the guy, turn the channel or turn off the radio, I do that with most liberal sites.

as well as being put into prison for all his crimes

What crimes?

At best he is a Qaddafi, a total troublemaker who is NO GOOD.

Qaddafi? That's like saying AOC is equal to Mother Teresa, come on now....
