Truth Social is the undisputed “loser” of social network sites, falling behind other pathetic right-wing attempts to create a social network of “alternative facts.” Downloads of the site have dropped 93% since it’s launch on February 21st.
Donald Trump’s Truth Social app has plummeted in sign-ups and traffic since its technically challenged launch last month, The Wrap reported Tuesday. The former president’s social media network for MAGA disciples has sunk to about 60,000 new users a week.
Donald Trump refuses to use it, as if somehow he can run from this failure. Of course, Trump is likely yelling and screaming at Devin Nunes over this. I’m sure Nunes is helping drive this into the ground, but let’s face it: he isn’t the problem. Turns out that no one wants to be on a site that no one else is on, as MAGAts already have their own echo chamber. They don’t need an app to do that.
The site was supposedly formed to fight censorship, but it bans users from criticizing Trump or even the site. One guy was banned simply because he used the username @DevinNunesCow. (If you recall, Devin Nunes was so upset by a Twitter handle of the same name, that he tried to sue the account owner. He failed spectacularly.) What I find most funny is that Trump’s site also bans the use of “excessive Capital letters!” If Trump ever does decide to use his own site, it’s conceivable that he might get banned, just like he did with Twitter---if the rules are to be followed. It is doubtful they would be.
In fact, I don’t think it matters. This site will likely not survive for much longer. I know this isn’t much of a surprise, but this is shaping up to be another failed Trump business, such as all of Trump’s business ventures have been failures. Yet this one is somehow more pathetic than Trump Steaks. People who have managed to get an account setup and use the site complain that there is no one there. A few MAGA losers, such as Donald Trump Jr. and Marjorie Taylor Greene like to post, but they don’t interact with the unwashed.
The app is everything Trump is: a failure, a loser and waaaaaaaaaaaay overhyped to be something it isn’t.
