After years of enduring antagonistic and sometimes inaccurate media treatment of himself and his supporters, Donald J. Trump has decided to build his own media empire, complete with a subscription TV network and social media platform that promises to eschew censorship and embrace traditional American values.
The 45th president announced Wednesday night the formation of the publicly traded Trump Media & Technology Group, whose first public asset promises to be a new social platform called TRUTH Social. "I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech," Trump said in a statement announcing the network. "We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon."
The social app is expected to launch in November and be fully operational by the first quarter of 2022.
Trump said he'll also be launching a subscription news and entertainment platform, which he promises will feature "non-woke" content.
The new media group has tapped as its leader Scott St. John, the executive producer of popular programs "Deal or No Deal" and "America's Got Talent," who has produced more than 1,000 hours of network and cable TV.
The network is designed to "give a voice to all" and form "a rival to the liberal media consortium," Trump said.
Jason Miller, a former Trump adviser and the CEO of GETTR social media, unsuccesfully negotiated to get Trump to join his platform. But he offered his support to his former boss for starting the new endeavor.
"Congratulations to President Trump for re-entering the social media fray!" Miller wrote in a statement. "Now Facebook and Twitter will lose even more market share. President Trump has always been a great deal-maker, but we just couldn't come to terms on a deal."
Mainstream media reporters mocked the announcement, continuing to remain decidedly un-neutral on all things Trump.
"If you didn't know, would you think this was real or parody?" Washington Post National Correspondent Phillip Bump tweeted out.

What does TMTG stand for?
Trump Media & Technology Group
Anyone get a beta?
Thank you
This is all awesome
You never know. The media didn’t know what hit them when Breitbart decided to launch a site.
We just don’t want to be too spread out over multiple platforms..if that happens none may survive due to lack traffic revevue
Rumble is growing and gaining traction fast...If the new trump platform has free video hosting like youtube then it will hurt Rumble
So getting into this business may hurt what is likely the biggest threat to big tech to date (Rumble)
unless of course they could partner with Rumble and tap into their current 130 million visits a month
“AppleStore pre-order only”
Why would apple allow this “app” on it’s devices?
If FOX can find incredible success, I believe Trump can as well in this space.
Why would apple allow this “app” on it’s devices?
they will give in to the wokeness and pull it eventually
No content yet, so it would be right up to the edge of tortious conduct if Apple prohibited the app's original release.
But I would get in on that pre-order given there is likely Leftard coordination going on to initially flood the site with nonsense -- to make it appear as if that is the site's intent -- and have the app yanked, which would effectively limit its reach and send it to the courts.
If Trump truly has a massive janitorial force in place, then enough legitimate users can sustain the site to a tipping point where the trolls are obvious and removed instantly.
If this does finally become available for download on Apple - download it immediately. They will probably end up pulling it within 6 mo.

Trump’s new platform is now trading up 63% over yesterday’s close.
Sadly a critical percentage of the American population is too stupid to realize or too decadent to care that the MSM is in full collusion with the decadent, corrupt Biden and his cabal. They are not journalists but rather crude propagandists controlled by vile globalists that hate America. At least Trump continues to fight with heart and soul for America.
Why didn’t Apple muzzle Rush from discussing the “latest & greatest” update and/or app?
Meh...Capitalism.
Sometimes??? Antagonistic, inaccurate, and distorted reports are the media norm for Trump and his supporters, not the exception.
