Donald Trump is gearing up to launch his latest business failure, a new social media network called Truth Social.
Since he can’t actually promote the site on Twitter or Facebook himself after being banned from the platforms for inciting last year’s insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, the ex-president is relying on his eldest son to do it for him.
“Time for some Truth!!!” Don Jr. tweeted yesterday, along with a screenshot of what appears to be his dad’s first post on site, which reads: “Get ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”

Trump Sr. first announced he would be starting his own social media network back in October. After a few hiccups during beta testing, including at least one reported hack, the site is finally set to launch later this month.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

“I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech,” he said last year. “We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced.”

Unfortunately, Junior’s attempt at creating excitement about the impending launch of his dad’s new project totally backfired. Turns out, a lot of people aren’t thrilled about seeing their “favorite President” again soon, or ever.
Here’s how they responded…

They’re gonna get sued into for being an exact replica of Twitter, but okay.

Bro, a posting from a banned former member is grounds for your banishment. Would one of you kind folks please kindly call for the Gazpacho SS please?

He doesn’t love you and you clearly have a drug addiction. How’s that for some truth?

Already his first “Truth” is a lie. How are those fraud cases coming along?

Someone’s excited he’ll soon be able to communicate with his Dad.

On a platform with legal issues over using code that violated it’s AGPL… There is nothing truthful about that platform or it’s contents.
Here’s to “Truth Social” failing like the rest of your father’s ventures.
Looking forward to the first data breach.

The launch of Truth Social has been overshadowed by news that Donald Trump’s longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA, is cutting ties with the ex-president and his company and said that a decade’s worth of his financial statements “should no longer be relied upon.”

This was followed by reports that President Biden has ordered the National Archives to turn over White House visitor logs from the Trump administration to the January 6 select committee after the ex-president tried to block their release.

Now we see why Melania had to secretly bid on her own stuff. People are done with this family of thieves.

There’s a grammatical error in the headline for this blogpost: “to promoting” doesn’t seem right.

if everything else fails for don jr theres always the title role in “The Eddie Munster Story”….and Kim G can do another dance video for “Gloria”. So its not all bad news for them.

I can’t comment. Queerty is holding back all my posts for moderation? Freedom of speech in the US of A?

Freedom of speech means the government won’t arrest you for speaking against them. It has nothing to do with what a private company does or doesn’t allow.

They can’t be holding back ALL your posts, if they posted this one. Just saying.

I guess SamB and all his screen names have joined it.
