Trump Confirms New Social Media Platform, Also Names Several Republicans To Watch For 2024 Presidential Primary
Daily Wire ^ | 03/22/2021 | Ryan Saavedra

Former President Donald Trump confirmed news that he plans to launch his own social media platform in the near future, and he named several Republicans that conservatives should keep their eye on as potential 2024 presidential candidates.

Trump confirmed the claim made to Fox News on Sunday by one of his advisers that he was creating “the hottest ticket in social media” that is going to “completely redefine the game.”

In a podcast interview, Trump told “The Truth with Lisa Boothe” with iHeart Radio and “Gingrich 360” that he is “doing things having to do with putting our own platform out there” that will be coming out “soon.”

When asked about 2024 and viable Republican presidential candidates, Trump said people should keep an eye on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Sens. Ted Cruz (TX), Rand Paul (KY) and Josh Hawley (MO), among “others.”

Trump specifically referenced a straw poll that was conducted this year at CPAC that surveyed attendees on a wide range of issues.

The most noteworthy results from the poll included:

Thinking ahead, if the 2024 Republican primary for president in your state were held today among the following candidates, for whom would you vote?

Donald Trump – 55%

Ron DeSantis – 21%

Kristi Noem – 4%

Nikki Haley – 3%

Mike Pompeo – 2%

Now among a different list of candidates, which does not include Trump, if the 2024 Republican primary for president in your state were held today, for whom would you vote?

Ron DeSantis – 43%

Kristi Noem – 11%

Donald Trump Jr. – 8%

Mike Pompeo – 7%

Ted Cruz – 7%

“I mean, you know, there’s a, there’s a pretty deep bench,” Trump added. “I’ll make that decision sometime later, but there’s a pretty deep bench. If you look at the polls, they love the job that I’ve done. We had a 97 percent approval at C-PAC, a 97 percent approval on policies and different things.”

DeSantis is increasingly discussed as the emerging star of the Republican Party after the way that he navigated Florida throughout the coronavirus pandemic, which included outperforming many Democrat states that used strict lockdowns while he kept his state largely open.

Joe Gruters, a Florida state senator and chairman of the state Republican Party, said of DeSantis, “I think he’s the odds-on favorite to be the next president.”

Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s chief pollster in 2016 and 2020, said of DeSantis:

When you look under the hood of those numbers, DeSantis garners a lot of support from Trump voters in the absence of Trump. As the media beat him up as the anti-Cuomo and DeSantis stood up for himself, voters liked that. They associate that type of scrappiness and speaking your mind with President Trump. He is inheriting a lot of that.

DeSantis has had very high poll numbers in the past with nearly every key demographic of voters and appears to appeal to both the Trump-wing of the GOP, and he appeals to the establishment-wing of the party.

Not only are you totally ignorant, you don't even know the history of social media.
For your information, MySpace existed before Facebook was even founded. Not only that, MySpace was very big and successful before Facebook later bloomed. And there were plenty of other big social media outfits before Facebook and Twitter too.


Look, I've tried being nice to someone who obviously does not know what he's babbling about, but my patience has limits. Look in a dictionary for the word "monopoly". Learn it. And then try to understand just how stupid you sound trying to compare MySpace to Facebook.

Even right here on FR alone we have excellent programmers who will be only too happy to help President hit back at Big Tech and the Dems if it comes to that.

How old are you, by the way? Because I'm constantly reminded of Joe Biden's babble when I read your posts.

Since you don't know what you are talking about, the word you need to concentrate 9n is”studies”.
Study the topics before you start spewing about stuff you know nothing about.

Look in a dictionary for the word “monopoly”. Learn it. And then try to understand just how stupid you sound trying to compare MySpace to Facebook.

Given that neither Facebook nor Twitter are monopolies, and given that Myspace was far bigger and stronger than Facebook before Facebook came from behind to overtake MySpace, your mindless babble is making even less sense than ever.

Yes, I did too. The devious Nikki H. should not have made the list.

You're making about as much sense as the Joe in the White House. Take a nap, grandpa.

It would be awesome if Musk did decide to get into the social media field. He has the credibility to attract top software talent and he does already have a lot of the hardware infrastructure in place.

“Pompeo is a good dude.”

Pompeo is CIA which is about as Deep State as you can get. He mutters the Trump lingo but he is not a believer.

He is a sharp guy but he is not for the downtrodden American. He’s above all that.

So the mindless far left propagandist spews out even more nonsense than before, and actually expects Freepers to take him seriously.
Say how about you go back to the crazy house you just escaped from? You are much better off under lock and key.
Chuckle.

Except the popularity of any new social media platform will have little to do with the whether the “software talent” is “the top” or not.
President Trump has far better odds of establishing a successful new social media platform than almost anyone else.
Why? Cause President Trump has 75 million hard core supporters who voted for Trump in November, most of whom believe Biden stole the elections.
