(Reuters) - Donald Trump's new social media venture, Truth Social, appears set to launch in Apple's App Store on Monday, according to posts from an executive on a test version viewed by Reuters, potentially marking the return of the former president to social media on the U.S. Presidents Day holiday.

The launch would restore Trump's presence on social media more than a year after he was banned from Twitter Inc, Facebook and Alphabet Inc's YouTube.

Mike Lee was asked about this and he said that these are private companies and they can do as they please. He also suggested that conservatives create their own Apple, Facebook and Google.

Why would he think Apple won’t pull it?

Actually.... and strangely enough... Trump and Tim Cook have a pretty good biz relationship last I checked.

Look it up!

That's a dumb move. I'm not signing up with Apple just to download an app.

That’s what I was thinking too.

They will probably allowed it to debut, holding the axing in reserve for the right moment.

I plan to put my money where my mouth is here, so wish me luck!

They will give it a couple of months before they release the names of all who downloaded so we can be “watched…”

Keep the crazy posters out of there and it has a chance.

Start seeing posters writing that President Trump will be placed back into office by the military, or that the government should be overthrown, etc? Yeah, the app will be pulled.

I think everyone should sign up ASAP.

Apple will think twice before upsetting 25 million customers.

*That* is how we get big tech to stay out of our way…numbers.

I’m already there.

I was requested to be a tester.

So we’re testing the Truth App in Beta mode.

Pretty cool.

Needed: Legislation to open-up smart phones to apps not approved by Google and Apple. Backed by severe penalties. The free market can’t do this by itself.
