Former President Donald Trump said he will launch his own social media network called TRUTH Social in early 2022.
The new Trump Media & Technology Group said it will create a rival social network to the current ‘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.’
Trump, who will serve as TMTG’s chairman, said, ‘I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. 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. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!’
Donald Trump will create his own brand of social media to compete with Silicon Valley in 2022 +8
The social network’s app is available for pre-order on the Apple store
The TRUTH Social app is currently available for pre-order on the Apple App store, with plans to launch a beta version for testers in November.
A nationwide rollout is expected in the first quarter of 2022, according to a TMTG statement.
Along with social media service, TMTG also plans to launch a subscription video on demand service called TMTG+, which will feature ‘non-woke’ entertainment programing, news, podcasts and more.
Patrick Orland, CEO of Digital World Acquisitions Corp, said his company would merge with TMTG to create the new services.
‘Digital World was formed to create public shareholder value and we believe that TMTG is one of the most promising business combination partners to fulfill that purpose.
‘DWAC currently has $293 Million in trust, assuming minimal redemptions, which can fuel TMTG’s scale up, including to provide world class leading technology services to build strong and secure social networks and diverse media offerings.’
After the merger, TMTG is expected to be valued at $1.7 billion.
Trumps move comes as he was banned from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram earlier this year following the January 6 Capitol Hill riot. The Twitter ban is permanent, with Facebook and Instagram saying they’ll consider reinstating Trump at a later date.

The president is among those being investigated by the January 6 committee for allegedly knowing about the riot before hand and helping to organize it.
The former president had previously lashed out against the companies, claiming they were infringing on his freedom of speech and run by ‘Radical Left Lunatics.’
With his social media presence hindered, Trump had been left to communicate with supporters through his website, From the Desk of Donald J. Trump.
Amen!
I'll wait until the website is actually functioning before I sign up for it. I'm sure that once you register, chances are you'll be getting emails asking for donations. I don't use apps on my iPhone, and never joined Twitter, Facebook, etc. Last year I joined Parler after President Trump was kicked off Twitter, hoping he'd end up there. Then Parler was taken offline for a while, so I joined Gab, then I joined Gettr. However, I rarely comment or read any of the postings, and find the same stuff being reposted over and over. I'm not really a social media-type person. Been on FR almost 24 years, and as far as I'm concerned, FR is still the best site.
I hit the done button.

That seems wise. I think I’ll follow your lead.
Join the waiting list is different. Preordering in the app store means it will automatically download to your device when it’s live.
Unless Truth Social owns its own servers, it's vulnerable.
btt
Whatever gets this show on the road, I'm in favor of. I ain't getting any younger.
I’m in too.
