More absolutely terrible news for ex-president Donald Trump’s Truth Social app.
According to a new report by Sensor Tower, the ring-wing Twitter knockoff has now seen a 93% drop in new signups plus a similarly sharp decline in traffic after going live on President’s Day last month.

The app has seen downloads plummet by more than 800,000 since its launch just a few weeks ago, with installs on the Apple app store dropping to barely 60,000 per week.
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.
But it’s not just downloads that have tanked. Yahoo! News adds that weekly visits by people who already have the app have fallen to 1.9 million, from a high of 6 million when it first launched.

Trump created Truth Social after he was banned from Twitter following the deadly January 6 Capitol riot, tapping ex-congressman Devin Nunes, who once tried to sue a fictional cow, as CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group. Under Nunes’ leadership, the rollout has been a complete disaster.
Per the Daily Beast:
In recent weeks, sources have heard the former president on the phone swearing gratuitously and asking things like, “What the f*ck is going on” with Truth Social.
He’s repeatedly groused about the negative press and the less-than-stellar optics of the rollout, these sources said. And he’s demanded to know why more people aren’t using it—why the app isn’t swiftly dominating the competition.
Here’s what folx on Twitter are saying about these latest reports…
I’m starting to think Devin Nunes quit Congress to help Trump launder money through Truth Social.

Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” app is seeing a 93% drop in signups and traffic since launch week.

Truth Social is like a dude getting kicked out of his favorite bar for being too drunk, going off and opening his own bar only to discover no one wants to really hang out with him.

So, just like the yam-tinted tinkle tape traitor who “created” it, Truth Social can’t seem to get up and stay up huh?
Shocking. ?

I hear Truth Social is on life support. I wonder if they've tried horse paste.

If Will Smith had slapped Chris Rock on Truth Social, no one would even know about it.

If you don't like LGBTQ+, stay away from them.
If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one.
If you don't like books, don't read them.
If you don't like people, stay the fuck home and leave everyone else alone.
If you don't like Biden, go to Truth Social and cry over there.— Tales & Typos (@kathrynresister) March 28, 2022

Ahh Marcy, Pumpkin, irrelevant to the article. All of it. But good try at maintaining your messaging. Now perhaps your minder should find something else to occupy your time, since you seem to be overstimulated again.
Cam
Translation:
The right wing troll is desperate to deflect from the fact that Trump has never known how to run a business.
white-queer-african
Good lord M*ntalMarcy where, or should that be were? Seeing according to you, I got my qualifications from Soweto! Your not just a morom but also a raving pucking RACIST!
So FO with your FAKE stats.
Smoking crack with no doubt a smelly crack.
That is if you trans as you claim.
Bosch
Looks like this truth social business really bugs you, huh D’arcy?
jfulton3710
So when the polls show trump behind they’re fake, yet when they show him ahead, they’re not fake any longer?
barryaksarben
Mr Marcy if the country is so red why is every single red state passing voter restriction laws quicker than trump would avoid her male pu**y. Or the fact they are gerrymandering to filth and committing racist acts unseen since reconstruction. I have some issues with many democrats but even that does not prevent me from supporting every single one over their corrupt, venial, ignorant, deplorable gop opponent. But since you havent an honest bone in your straight male body. I keep telling you having a woman’s first name does not make you a trans woman. We already found you out long long ago so if anyone has any doubt when he lies about being trans just know he IS lying
barryaksarben
And if the GOP wins every single election TRUMP still wont have run a successful business in his whole life. the ice could all melt and Florida be under water or all white kids could pout about having to learn REAL history but Trump would STILL not have run a successful business. OK MARCY MAN
Brian
Lately, Marcy has been copying and pasting the same messages on any article of any topic, and always signs off with the nonsensical “Red Wave.” At least “blue wave” makes some sense (you know, water). Red wave is nothing. Nobody ever says that. Marcy is too stupid to come up with an actual slogan.
She ( / he / it) also leaves out important details. The numbers above are lies, first of all. And there’s always a margin of error, so 51/49 could actually be 49/51, for example. Margins of error can be 5% or more, depending on the survey. The things that she ( / he / it) presents as slight edges could actually be losses. We don’t know because that information is missing. I’m also getting a kick out of the claim that Congressional Democrats are so poorly rated when Congress overall has been around 12% to 18% approval for most of the last 20 years. A 22% approval for one party is not the burn that she (he, whoever) thinks it is. Ugh, just so much stupid in every post.

Brian –
RED WAVE for Marcy means that when she transitioned from M to F she paid for the Super Deluxe Artificial Uterus with Real Menstruation! (In the biz it’s referred to as the Jenner Special.)
But it looks like her unit is defective, it’s stuck on the Permanent PMS position.
Polaro
Please, run Trump again. He’s a poisonous loser. He’ll bring the entire ticket down. Damaged goods. Especially since his bankroller Putin will be gone by 2023.
Mister P
It is no surprise that Drumpf is a fraud and Marcy Minor has nothing to say.
BaltoSteve
It’s pretty obvious why it is tanking so bad. And no, it’s not just because it has the Trump name on it, not exactly. See, the whole point of the app was to basically give is followers what they perceived as an open line of communication with him. However, as he isn’t using the app, and one hello message in the entire time it has been live doesn’t count as using it, folks are dumping the app. And it doesn’t help that it has had a rough roll out with access and other server issues. They tried to fast track it and, well, it went off the track.
Cam
Trump is a terrible businessman. He has NEVER run a successful business. They only looked like they weren’t failing for a while because he burned up all of his inheritance money and loan money trying to keep them afloat.
Caddy4J
@cam. What cult are you getting info from?? You have so much hate for everyone, Trump, commenter’s you disagree on this site. If he didn’t know how to run a business, why is it that this man has a net of over 3 billon dollars. Clutch them pearls you soulless troll. Grow the F up. You’re just a sheep being used for clickbait. SAD!!!
white-queer-african
@Caddy4J, or are you SamB et al or that other supposed trans? Oh forget about it. We know times are becoming really tough in Russia. Internet down. No food in the stores. I weep for innocent Russian people. Beautiful country with beautiful, mostly, people. Been there several times over the years.
PUTIN MUST GO! AND DUMPH MUST FOLLOW!
Fahd
Curious that they chose the name Truth.
Truth translates to Pravda in Russian and I’m sure the majority of Trump’s supporters who are older have bad associations with the Soviet newspaper Pravda which was the only available newspaper to a cowed, essentially incarcerated Soviet populace for many years.
Just another failure in an extended downward spiral. Who has ever benefitted from being in a business with Trump? I almost feel sorry for his bankers.
white-queer-african
So 2 hours later and no rebuttal from @M*ntalMayer? No doubt passed our from the last crack pipe?
And none of the other nut jobs SamB et al, jt1990 coming to defend the main screenname?
Gurl you et al are not well!
barryaksarben
They are all fine. Actually tho it is all just one person who must have had to go to his mommas church. the one with the pastor that molested him years ago
white-queer-african
Latest news just in. The internet is down in mother Russia land.
Explaines it all!
SoloMcDaniel
Drumpf is not helping the platform by only posting once. I’m not suggesting he pull a “Tom from Myspace” and follow everybody but he should give his followers something after convincing them to join.

chuck noblet said it best i think…”noone makes friends with a failure.”
masteradrian031
So, what’s new here?
Another addition to the already long list of FAILURES created by trump, the Failure, the Loser, the Fraud, the Traitor, the Nothing!
His golf-resorts are a failing, his hotels are a failing, his shows were a failure, his presidency is a failing, his off-spring are failures, his life is a failure, his birth was a failure, his father was a failure, probably his end will be a failure too!
All in all, trump was, is and always will be a failure, everything he touches turns into a failure!
A couple of things though trump was and is good at…… lying, cheating, treason, abuse, ego, narccissism, obesitas, greed, and above all things profitting off ignorant people!

Just think of the wonderful effect a condom would have had 70 years ago.. No orange boy, no children.. No businesses to fail. I can wish for a time machine, can’t I?

Loser app, loser pResident Don the Con!
And note, the criminal Con is again begging Putin, an abominable butcher, for help, as usual!
Mack
Considering Trump involved, you know he’s siphoned most of the operating capital off to line his pockets, so there is no surprised there. Just like the “Stop the Steal” donations has all gone into his pockets. A year plus and ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF.

FAILED TRUMP BUSINESSES: Trump Steaks GoTrump.com Trump Airlines Trump Vodka Trump Mortgage Trump: The Game Trump Magazine Trump University Trump Ice The New Jersey Generals Tour de Trump Trump on the Ocean The Trump Network and now this. maybe he should stop putting his name on everything or maybe he should just dig a hole, climb in and never be heard from again.

Like with most apps, a lot of the early downloads are from techies, tech reviewers, and journalists. They download not because they plan on using the app regularly but instead because they’re there to test it. An app by a former president is going to get a lot of attention from these testing type users. After a couple of weeks, the buzz has passed and the app needs actual interest.
bachy
Liberal or conservative, I cannot imagine what kind of loser would want to waste their time on an app like Truth Social.
But then, I feel exactly the same way about Twitter.

Trump is loser. I want him to also be a convict.

Let’s see, how many business failures does that bring Trump up to? 20, 30, 50, MORE ?
