The Washington Post cited an unnamed source saying Trump has been fuming over his app flopping upon its release.Trump is now considering signing up with his former aide's conservative social media platform, per The Post.

Former President Donald Trump might be joining the conservative social media platform Gettr following the lackluster performance of his Truth Social app.

Trump has "privately fumed" about Truth Social's failure to attract a sizeable audience since its launch in February, according to The Washington Post, which cited an unnamed source familiar with the matter.

The source also told The Post that the former president is now considering joining Gettr a competitor to Truth Social that claims it is "founded on the principles of free speech."

Citing its source, the outlet reported that Trump has been holding back from posting on Truth Social because he doesn't believe that the app is "ready for prime time."

Truth Social's current head Devin Nunes, who is also a former Republican congressman, has been attempting to assuage Trump's concerns about the app by giving the latter frequent briefings, per The Post.

“The Washington Post cited an unnamed source saying Trump has been fuming over his app flopping upon its release.”

The same Washington Post which tried to essentially kill President Trump by pushing a treason propaganda blitz for years - given it’s a crime punishable by death? You mean that one? Why would I beleive ANY publication that worked to overthrow freedom in the US and falsely condemn President Trump to incarceration and death for crime(s) he never committed?

I asked you, because I am not aware that Jim does any
advertising, or takes any advertising.

I just don’t want folks contemplating donating to the forum
to think he does.

Not trying to attack you.

You should know better. An anonymous source -> as told to the Washington Post -> repurposed stolen by an anti-Trump cross-eyed tranny gossip columnist for a shitty agitprop outlet -- who specifically lied just 3 months about Trump's social media strategy!

Don't post this shit.

The point I was making was to correct your use of the term occasional fundraiser.

 

When fundraisers here at Free Republic last 95% of the time - it ain't occasional. It's basically a full time fundraiser. With maybe a week off each quarter.

The DWAC stock is in a great place to buy right now.

If you want in, also look at DWACW. It is like a deeply discounted option to buy DWAC stock for $11.50 per share. The downside is that you must pay short-term capital gains tax on the profit at conversion, and you must convert from DWAC to DWACW around September or October.

why can’t we just have 1 or maybe a few sites we all go to? why does every body have to start their own club?

What do you think this is, another Linux distro?

This is B.S. from Business Insider a known Trump hating publication.

Don Jr. and Eric are there now…….many coming on board daily.

The response is huge and the system is being updated every 2-3 days.

President Trump is waiting for it to go 100% public with unregulated sign ups.

Right now we’re up to 10-20 thousand a day being let on.

Trump owns part of Truth Social why would he abandon it?

This story is propaganda.

It didn’t used to be that way. When he first started doing them, we’d clear it in about a week.

Jim has previously stated that he doesn’t want advertising on FR. His site, his rules.

Sorry if my post came across as sarcastic. No offense intended.

No problem. I did feel that you were rather upset in the
last post, but it comes with the territory.

No harm, no foul.

Thank you.

Truth is doing just fine. Is it as big as Twitter? Nope. But it is growing
