And how long will this app last on Apple before they force its removal (along with Android and other carriers)? Not sure I want to put my name on a waiting list plum ripened for FBI perusal. I’ll wait until the rollout myself.
Building the apps isn’t super complicated. The real question is where they are going to be hosting it. It can’t be any of the big three - AWS, Azure , GCP. Likely not IBM cloud either. They could kick him out anytime they wanted. One possibility is hosting on their own servers but scaling could potentially be a problem depending on how popular they get. There is also Oracle cloud since Trump and Larry Ellison have a good relationship.
I just pre ordered it!,
The possibility of such a Trumpian venture merging in some form with the nascent Starlink system should not be overlooked.
The two combined would constitute a separate, freedom-centered and more powerful network than traditional, mainly terrestrial systems have, or even can have.
Starlink has capabilities for direct-to-consumer functionality that will challenge existing systems such as the cellular data networks.
Imagine an enormous worldwide audience being offered free access to data services such as personal smartphone-like devices that have the functionality of your smartphones but without as many dead spots in coverage and lower costs for premium-level services.
A word to the wise....
Just curious if Trump is president again would it be claimed that he could not own such a business?
I just signed up, and actually read the privacy page, etc. I am hopeful that this is legit and being prepared seriously. I like that they seem to have a reasonable name instead of parlor and gab etc.
When is the IPO coming out?
Their ToS allow them to delete accounts and content for any reason, so kind of hard to see it as a bastion of free speech.
This is a TOUGH business. He will have the entire Left/Socialist/Communists/Democrats fighting against this company. It will be trashed each and everyday. But, if anyone can handle the pressure it is DJT. I wish him well.
“dominating plans”>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Buahahahahahaha! In leveling the playing field President Trum p is “dominating.”
The left, American Marxists, as defined by Marle Levin in his new Book. “American Marxism”,are scared to death of President Trump and hi9s vast network of committed supporters.He IS goiing to roll them up.
GO TRUMP !
I’ll am certainly looking forward to investing in it.
The media company intends to “create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the ‘Big Tech’ companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America,” the statement explained.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sounds fabtastic. President Trump is proclaimimg battle.
Lets buy some stock?
*********************************************************
NEW YORK — Nine months after being expelled from social media for his role in inciting ( sic) the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, former President Donald Trump said Wednesday he’s launching a new media company with its own social media platform.
Trump says his goal in launching the Trump Media & Technology Group and its “TRUTH Social” app is to create a rival to the Big Tech companies that have shut him out and denied him the megaphone that was paramount to his national rise.
“We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced,” he said in a statement. “This is unacceptable.”
In a release, the new venture announced it had been created through a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. DWAC, +49.58%, and said it seeks to become a publicly listed company.
DWA, based in Miami, is a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. Such publicly traded companies are designed to list the shares of a private company more quickly than a traditional initial public offering. In practice, that means the SPAC acquires a private firm and then changes its name and other details to those of the acquired firm.
SPACs pay for their acquisitions with cash provided by investors who bought into the SPAC’s initial public offering.
Trump has spoken about launching his own social media site ever since he was barred from Twitter TWTR, -0.85% and Facebook FB, -0.11%. An earlier effort to launch a blog on his existing website was abandoned after the page drew dismal views.
In addition to the app, which is expected to soft-launch next month, with a nationwide rollout early next year, the company says it is planning a video-on-demand service dubbed TMTG+ that will feature entertainment programming, news and podcasts.
DWA said it has raised roughly $293 million in cash, which it will use to grow TMTG’s ventures. Among the company’s biggest shareholders are several institutional investors, including Lighthouse Investment Partners, D. E. Shaw & Co., and Radcliffe Capital Management, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The deal has an initial enterprise value, a measure that takes into account a company’s total debts and assets, of $875 million, according to the release.

Looks like it may violate the TOS of the software they’re using.
How will they stop avowed socialist techies from infiltrating and spoiling anything good?
I don’t know these things since leftist organizations began
using the excuse of “algorithms” to halt freedom. Clearly,
a background investigation won’t suffice for new hires.
A Twitter employee posted about 3 years ago that it’s not so much how
you behave presently but rather what your algorithms tell
them about how you’ll behave in the future.
Example: Say I didn’t go to the Jan 6 rally but I wanted to. The future behavior speaks. I would be a risk….and at risk.
For once I’d like the best of these alttech sites to start working together rather than every tom dick and harry rushing off to create their own platform.
