Trump needs to do a better job of un-muzzling himself
American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Silenced by media outlets and the tech tyrants, his email blasts – one or two a day – are not enough to counter the media’s relentless dishonest narrative.

Trump is a super-communicator. That is, one of his great gifts is his ability to simplify complicated concepts into ways that are visual, powerful, and sticky. Twitter was the perfect medium for him because it worked for his pithy, powerful, quite unique way of sending a message. Currently, though, all major media outlets are closed to him: He is banned from all the major social media outlets, and the mainstream news, whether print or television, will not allow him to be heard. He needs a new outlet and he needs one fast.

Trump is certainly still welcome on Fox, which seems to have gained back most of its audience, but he is a pariah elsewhere. His preferred medium, Twitter, has imposed a lifetime ban on him. Facebook’s censorship board, which is composed primarily of Europeans, has made a big show about “democratically” and “thoughtfully” shutting him down. Outlets other than Fox will not allow him to speak. For the first time in American history, a former president is being completely silenced.

It’s true that Trump has set up a website that allows him to post about things and he sends out email blasts. Sometimes the tech tyrants allow his supporters to post them on Facebook or Twitter; sometimes they’re deleted. As was the case with his tweets, he has a knack for packing a powerful message in a short paragraph. These are among my favorites:

you dont necessarily have to put it in Google Play Store- theres many apps that are completely independent of Google PS, no?

You don’t. But it also means some slight technical knowledge beyond clicking on a icon in the Google Play Store.

Apple is definitely out. Unless you get a dev account and compile the app yourself and install it through Xcode. Or jailbreak your phone.

Trump knows timing of what and when to say something remember when he said I don’t tell my enemies what I’m going to do.
Unlike a hack he knows what needs to be done and how to do it he’s proved it many times.

I would absolutely love to spend time developing an app with a team for Donald Trump and the MAGA party.

Android app first (apks are easier to handle)

That’s the only Republican in any leadership I can trust.

(Some Governors come close)

We do have the skills. Just not the funding.

Im wondering and looking around for someone who would fund you, et.al.,

Do think if you made a presentation by video and/or a written proposal -something the Trump team would possibly consider? theres certainly no chatter about this either

If the presentation is strong enough I bet Pres Trump would go for it.

You know, he is willing to listen to people not like those other guys who are in politics for prestige, power & money.

He’ s always on the lookout for talent, too.

Let me know what you think
