Trump's social media app 'Truth Social' goes live - and has a choppy launch

A social media platform linked to Donald Trump appeared on the Apple app store in time for Presidents’ Day, though its debut so far has fallen short of making the internet great again for the former president’s followers.

Several users who tried signing up for the platform called Truth Social got error notices or were put on lengthy wait lists. Numerous attempts to register on TruthSocial.com were met with a “405 Not Allowed” message.

Former President Donald Trump's new social media app started a gradual rollout late Monday.

The MAGA alternative to Twitter — which booted Trump from its platform after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection — was created by Trump Media & Technology Group. Former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is the CEO for the 45th president’s new technology company. He told Fox Business last month that Truth Social would be up and running by the end of the first quarter of 2022. A note on the app’s Apple Store page indicated “Bug Fixes” Sunday night.

I was looking for an explanation why I keep getting 405 error when I try to sign up for Trump Social, and found this article. Adam Kinzinger has a truly heinous tweet about Truth Social.

As I understand it, Stew Peters, who has featured doctors reporting on damage and death from the stab, can post on TS, but with a “sensitive content” label. Milo Y. apparently not clear at this point on whether he’ll be allowed an account at all. That doesn’t sound much better than Twitter or Youtube to me.

I somehow found a Truth Social page on Facebook. I was going through posts, and one woman said all operating systems would be working by end of March, including PC. I asked her where she read that, and if I hear, I will let y’all know.

AOL article goes out of its way the repeatedly refer to DJT as the “Former President,” who was banned by twitter, then, in the last paragraph, mentions that 0bama has the largest twitter account.

The website “Terms of Service” and “Privacy Policy” won’t even come up (404 errors):

https://truthsocial.com/legal/terms-of-service/
https://truthsocial.com/legal/privacy-policy/
https://truthsocial.com

Needs work. Will try the iOS App next I guess.

Some detail about people involved

"Axios reported that the social media platform will “go public via a SPAC.”

“The SPAC is led by Patrick Orlando, who has raised several SPACs but has yet to successfully use one to take a company public. He did have one deal signed, with a company called Giga Energy, but it was called off before being consummated,” Axios reported.

A streaming service called TMTG+ will be helmed by Scott St. John, former executive producer of “Deal or No Deal’ and “America’s Got Talent,” according to Axios.

Patrick Orlando

Trump went into business with Peruvian Patrick Orlando, a businessman from Miami; the Brazilian self-declared ‘prince’ Luiz Orleans e Braganca; and Abraham Cint, a Mexican who lives in China.

Univision explained that the Peruvian financier Patrick Orlando directs Digital World Acquisition, the company that will merge with the firm that will manage Trump’s social network. He is based in Miami and has two degrees from the prestigious MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and specializes in SPACs.

The American chain adds that Orlando He is the CEO of Benessere Capital LLC, an investment banking and investment consulting firm that he founded in Miami in October 2012. He is also the CEO of Yunhong International, another SPAC located in an office building in Wuhan, China.

“Previously, Orlando was CTO of Pure Biofuels Corporation, a Peruvian company that raised millions of dollars from investors to finance the construction of a biodiesel processing plant that was later sold to Valero, the Texas-based petrochemical company.”, according to Univision.

He was Director of Derivatives of Emerging Markets at Deutsche Bank, a firm that served as the main lender for the Trump Organization, emphasizes Univisión.

“It is not clear how he partnered with Trump in the SPAC merger”says Univision.

Luckily that is the Truth Social page I liked. There were 2 or 3 on the page, so I just liked the first one.
Patrick Orlando is the CEO of a Chinese company? I’m amazed they’d allow a non-Chinese CEO.

We all know Parler was taken down by big tech. Why on earth is this new Trump site using Apple? I thought the whole concept of Trump going separate like this was to be totally self-reliant? But couldn’t Apple cancel Trump just like what happened w Parler?

Obamacare suffered website issues for close to a year and heard nothing about it in the lib media. Trump’s website just needs a larger server farm, better load balancing and some bug fixes.

One of Trump’s problems is that he is old school PM and uses waterfall project management techniques. Granted, he is the best in the world at it. In today’s project management, and especially for web development, agile project management, CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Delivery) is the way to go. Show Minimal Viable Product and do bug fixes during sprints instead of at the end.
