Trump’s Truth Social app will apparently launch in February (The App Store says it will be available on February 21st) - Apple initially?

Former President Donald Trump’s new social network, Truth Social, will launch on iOS on February 21st, according to a listing on the App Store. (That’s Presidents Day, if you didn’t know. Subtle.) The app is being made by the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), Trump’s new media company led by former US Rep. Devin Nunes.

Truth Social looks very much like a Twitter clone, based on screenshots in the App Store listing. The profile page shown in one screenshot looks almost exactly like Twitter’s, and posts appear to have icons for replies, retweets, faves, and sharing. (Truth Social describes each individual post as a “truth” in the app’s description. The retweet equivalent is apparently called a “re-truth.”)

The social network’s Twitter-like design is almost assuredly no accident. Twitter was Trump’s favorite megaphone for years, until he was permanently banned in January 2021 shortly after the January 6th insurrection on the US Capitol. In May, he launched what was essentially a blog where he posted pithy Twitter-length comments, but it wasn’t nearly as popular as his former Twitter account and was shut down less than a month after it launched. Trump sued Twitter in October in an attempt to reinstate his account.

It’s unclear if February 21st is also when Truth Social will be available on the web and / or Android. If you visit Truth Social’s website right now, there’s only a button to preorder the free app on the App Store and a form you can fill out to join a waiting list. It’s also unclear whether the social network will be invite-only when it launches.

Unclear as yet, whether the website will also be initially available on other platforms...

Nunes said the other day by the end of March

I guess some invites will start using it next month but he hinted that the 21st won’t be the full rollout

It will also be anti-1st amendment. For the children. A Silicon Valley company will be censuring what they deem to be “hate speech” Which will mean whatever they want it to mean.

I’m really looking forward to this app. I gave up Twitter shortly after Jan 6 when Trump was banned. I really liked the Twitter interface so glad that Trump’s app will resemble that.

Same here.

Unfortunately it is only for iPhone and iPad. No mention on the Mac App Store for computers.

The regime has their federal hack judges lined up, briefed and ready to unleash a continuous string of TROs. The regime will do everything possible maintain censorship of MAGA. It will be very hard, if not impossible, for Trump to pull this off. The legal challenges, the false flag ruses, physical attacks on personnel and assets, bank blacklisting and such will be unending.

Freedom Social would be a much better name.
