Trump's new social platform: "Truth" (aka Pravda)

Going by the name Truth Social, the new Trump platform is billed as a way for him (and all of us) to “stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech,” most especially Twitter and Facebook, which have banned him for repeatedly violating their terms of service. Speaking of terms of service, Truth Social’s terms forbid users from saying anything to “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.”

At last, free speech has been restored to the Internet!

Even more amusingly, Truth Social users must agree to avoid “excessive use of capital letters,” something of which Trump himself is quite fond. And the terms themselves contain extended passages in, yes, all capital letters.

This is just the latest of many recent attempts to create a Trumpist Twitter, all supposedly devoted to free speech. There was Gab, then Parler, then Gettr — none of which exactly set the world on fire — and now Truth Social.

The problem the first two encountered, and this one will as well, is that a safe space where they can converse free of engagement with liberals isn’t just not what devoted Trumpists want. It’s the opposite of what they want.

As a political style, Trumpism isn’t about avoiding the libs, it’s about triggering the libs, owning the libs, enraging the libs. If you’re a liberal, have you ever found your blood boiling because of something someone said on Parler? Of course not, because you’ve never even heard about anything anyone said on Parler. It might as well be a social media platform on Mars. . . .

So who are Trump’s potential customers? His most devoted political supporters, who can be lured in with the promise of participating in the project of Trumpism, then be targeted with ads for MyPillow, gold coins or whatever other bottom-feeding enterprises can be persuaded to advertise on Truth Social.

But there’s only so much revenue to be had from those sources. And after an initial wave of loyalists signing up for Truth Social, the number of subscribers will probably wither away. Sooner or later, they will probably realize that yelling about liberals who have no idea you exist isn’t nearly as much fun as yelling at liberals.

Hopefully it'll go the same way as his earlier exploit...

Trump to launch new social media platform TRUTH Social

The former US president was banned from Twitter and Facebook following the US Capitol riots.
www.bbc.co.uk

Earlier this year, he launched From the Desk of Donald J Trump, which was often referred to as a blog.
The website was permanently shut down less than a month after it launched after attracting only a fraction of the audience he would have expected through established sites.

While democrats are still focusing on Trump and how to destroy his influence, Americans are still trapped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, parents are still being harassed by Garland for voicing objections to Biden's bad policies, male perverts are still moving freely into girls' bathrooms and locker rooms in schools, hateful racist and divisive ideologies are still being crammed sown schoolkids throats, gasoline prices are still skyrocketing, food prices are soaring, America is being overrun by illegal immigrants, gang members, terrorists, drug dealers, child traffickers, and more with their hands out to the US government for funds to live on while they are here for the next several decades or more, and those are just the beginning of sorrows.

Leftists praise Mark Zuckerberg for interfering in elections in favor of democrat candidates, but loathe Trump for looking for ways to speak to the public in spite of leftist obstructions in public media everywhere.

Then it is unanimous. All good politicians were booed out of the presidential race in 2020 and the only ones left were leftists. No wonder America is in serious trouble for abandoning God.

Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
