The Trump campaign is launching its own social networking app to mobilize 'the army of Trump' for 2020

(snip) --

The campaign increasingly views smartphones as another method of turning passive supporters into staunch activists. At a Trump rally late last year, campaign manager Brad Parscale brandished his iPhone, telling supporters, "Now this phone is how we connect with you. It's how we turn you into the army of Trump."

Digital experts say a key hurdle in launching an app is getting users to download it to begin with, which has doomed plenty of others. But as elections are increasingly fought online, the app space offers campaigns another method of reaching supporters.

"The big challenge for campaigns in the current era we're in — when attention is oversaturated — is to reach people where they are," veteran GOP strategist Eric Wilson told Politico. "It's a no-brainer to go into the app space on campaigns. It's an important battleground."

I hate loading apps. But this will permit Trump activists to forward video adverts that would certainly be disrupted by the Goog/Twit/Yout/TVnets anti-Trump resistance

“I hate loading apps.”

Likewise. I go with the apps that came with my phone. Period.

Exactly right. We bitch about how liberals control the social media and then when someone does something about it we’re all “I don’t download apps”...

Which is why I laugh every time someone trots out the old “CW2” argument. When people are too damn lazy to go vote and too chicken to download a simple app, who believes anyone is going to take a weapon and go fight?

agree, we use them for business conventions to keep people up to date, why not campaigns.

The leftists will institute a AstroTurf campaign to file abuse reports for hate speech. Apple and Google will then be “forced” to act ( for the children) and ban the app

Kim Clement said it best. The exact words heard several years ago are forgotten, however he quoted the Lord by saying such a small thing but so brilliant that only HE could master such a strategy.

President TRUMP, follow His word and HE will have your back.
Never forget from where your power of success comes.

We thank GOD that you have chosen to join the conservatives rather than our opponents.

I didn’t mean I hate loading apps. I was agreeing that it will be great to have an app in which conservative stuff will not be censored like it is on Twitter or Fakebook.

Why not in addition to this, why not have a Trump TV Channel?

Got it. Next time, I’ll try not to jump to a conclusion. Thank you for the clarification.
