Yet another Trump business boondoggle and failure.

Well, unless there is an investigation into the financial portion of this, could very well be a success. The only reason people sub to these services is the pipeline to Trump... and Trump is showing very little interest in being involved in his own social media developments.

Top executives from Former President Donald Trump’s social media venture, Truth Social, have departed the company as the site has struggled to gain traction with users.

Three top executives quit Truth Social, including chief technology officer, Josh Adams and Billy Boozer, the head of the company’s product development, and chief legal officer, Lori Heyer-Bednar, according to two people familiar with the matter. Reuters first reported the departures of Adams and Boozer.

Trump has been upset with the state of his social media venture, Truth Social, and is eyeing major shake-ups to the company, including positions on the board of Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group, according to one of those people familiar with the matter and a separate person as well.

I don't understand. How can a tech company whose head of product development is "Billy Boozer" possibly fail?
 
"Many users have expressed to me and others that leftists and Democrats should either be removed from the country, killed, or fought in a civil war." Another possible option: slave-labor camps. But I'm not sure that I want to research Truth Social enough to find out if anyone advocates that option.

"Many users have tried to flip the script and are fond of calling anti-fascists fascists and Democrats and leftists Nazis."

"Absolute obsession with pedophilia." Also "grooming", recruiting children into sex slavery.

"Users say socialism and democratic socialism means not having money, means laziness, means Nazism. They believe Biden is socialist or communist. They believe the democrats are far left."

"Billionaires were smart enough and worked hard enough to earn what they earned. You can be rich if you try hard enough." Many right-wingers, however, bellyache about "big tech" and "woke capital", and I don't know how common such bellyaching is on TS. They do so without even the slightest nod to their hero-worship of billionaires and big business.

"Users very fond of accusing all leftists and democrats of being jobless and living in their mother’s basement (I can’t tell you how often I heard mother’s basement)." Sort of like a conspiracy theory that some right-wingers express, that the Democratic Party wants people to be on welfare so that it can have a big population that's willing to vote for its politicians.

"Users say Jan 6 was either A) a non-violent protest, B) false flag by the FBI C) false flag by ANTIFA D) false flag by BLM E) false flag with Nancy Pelosi to blame."

"Users say the 2020 summer riots were all done by ANTIFA. Users also have great enthusiasm in saying any remotely violent situation anywhere, robbery, murder, etc, was done by ANTIFA."

"Users say ANTIFA is funded by George Soros. Users also say George Soros wants to create a new USSR within the US." This despite right-wingers' hero-worship of billionaires. If he wasn't such a villain to them, they'd be saying about him what a Hero of Capitalist Labor he is, what a capitalist Stakhanovite he is. As in  Hero of Socialist Labour and  Stakhanovite movement

"Users are extremely distrustful of government and institutions, except for police and Trump."
 
So, how long before Trump is back in Twitter? A week? A month?

You know, all the Right really needs at this point is a platform for Trump to spout his shit, and an inbox where his followers can feed him shit. Maybe with a little star of validation when Trump reads their responses.

"President Trump read this post at 23:33, on 21 February, 2022. You have peaked as a human being."

Of course, with Trump, it'll be monetized.
"Submit a $500 donation with this post and President Trump will read it within the hour, and send you a personal reply. For $100, within the next 2 business days, and may mention it in his next address. For $20, he'll receive a 5-word summary of your post, along with those of other Patriots, in a weekly briefing. For $10, someone in the organization will read it for any useful content.
"All donation amounts will be rounded down for the purpose of levelization."

I think it will be a while. First he would have to wait until Musk officially is in charge and can rescind the ban.

Then I think Trump will wait some time after that. Trump said he isn't coming back, which I would take as he doesn't want to look like he owes Musk anything. Just wait until there are reports of Twitter having troubles, then Trump can come back and claim he is 'saving' twitter.

Will that be before or after all his Pravda, Gettr and whatever other failures he is running now, have faded from existence?
 
Truth Social Users Claim They Were Banned for Jan. 6 Hearings Posts
  • Several Truth Social users claimed they were banned after posting about the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
  • Users took to Twitter to complain about being suspended or experiencing technical difficulties with the site.
  • The apparent banning of users contradicts the site's central promise to be a "free speech platform."

Jack Cocchiarella on Twitter: "I was suspended from Truth Social for posting about the January 6th hearing last night.
Donald Trump is scared of free speech." / Twitter
Several others claimed to have been censored or suspended by the platform recently, one over a video of Ivanka Trump and another stating that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Insider could not independently verify the claims. Insider reached out to Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns and runs Truth Social, but did not receive an immediate response.
