You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet: Trump Scores Colossal Victory Over Big Tech on Day 1 of Truth Social

There is no doubt that social media played a massive role in Donald Trump’s presidency, from his 2016 campaign’s savvy use of Big Tech platforms to the subsequent crackdown on conservative content during his presidency; from the ubiquitous “mean tweets” that had the power to redirect the news cycle for a full week to his ultimate, unprecedented permanent bans from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube toward the end of his term in office.

Since leaving Washington, former President Donald Trump has been limited to press releases whenever he’s in the mood to comment on current events, but, true to form for the real estate tycoon, media mogul and political upstart, he has now simply built his own platform.

For months, Trump’s camp has been teasing the release of Truth Social, the MAGA movement’s answer to the blatantly biased, corrupt and censorial Silicon Valley.

The platform dropped on Sunday to emphatic fanfare — that is, it was met with such a high volume of traffic that it shot up to the number one spot on Apple’s App Store. Hundreds of thousands of users have been placed on a waitlist, as CNET reported.

They were really not prepared for the rollout. I tried to join and pre join and was told there was a waiting list. Still waiting for an email.
