Former President Donald Trump’s social media app TRUTH Social debuted at #1 in Apple's App Store even though the iOS app will not be fully operational until sometime later in March.
Most users can download the app to their iPhone, set up their email and user name, but cannot access the platform just yet. Many people reported trouble trying to set up their initial accounts. A spokesman advised to "give it some time" and try again, indicating that they were having trouble dealing with the volume of prospective users.
Trump became interested in building his own social media platform after he was removed from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for violating their "policies" following the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.
Last October in a press release, the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) stated it was their mission to create “a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the Big Tech companies.”
The TRUTH Social tagline is "Follow the Truth" and the website states the following:
Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-California) who left the House of Representatives to join TMTG is now serving as the company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), while Former President Trump serves as the Chairman of the company.
Making the site inaccessible without an app is commercial suicide for a social media network.
Putting the app in apple and compatible with iphones is like the biggest gift to China and the cabal that overthrew our government.
Sometimes I really question why Trump doesn't have smarter people around him. I get it that Trump is not in the age bracket to be savvy about these things and has to rely on others - but Jesus - this is beyond stupid, it's actually insulting to every person who has been shadowbanned, deleted or silenced because Apple/China has been spying on them through their Chinese made devices.
Cook is a deviant who is completely compromised with weeks worth of video held by China and the rest of his cabal masters. He is their slave, which is why he will never pull iphone production out of China, no matter what they put in them.
I expected better after waiting all this time. It's painfully obvious now Trump is not able to surround himself with real talent - only grifters.
With GAB, Gettr and Parler being FBI infested sites, created and designed to acquire data on Trump voters and foil independent communications, I had hoped that Truth Social would actually be an entity completely independent of big tech and China.
My hope was misplaced and, actually, from this messaging we can assume that Trump will not run in 2024 either. He's still surrounded by the cabal and is not a free man.
Now we have a revolution coming.
Agreed!
Will this be another way Trump will show his love of communist governments?
