This just in: Donald Trump‘s latest business venture is an even bigger dumpster fire than anyone predicted.According to the Daily Beast, the rollout for the ex-president’s new social media platform, Truth Social, is not going well:In recent weeks, sources have heard the former president on the phone swearing gratuitously and asking things like, “What the f*ck is going on” with Truth Social.”He’s repeatedly groused about the negative press and the less-than-stellar optics of the rollout, these sources said.
And he’s demanded to know why more people aren’t using it—why the app isn’t swiftly dominating the competition.The Daily Beast also notes that a preliminary report by SimilarWeb, which tracks website traffic from public and private sources, shows the site is doing “either worse or the same” as several other MAGA social media sites, including Gab, a pro-Trump competitor website popular among neo Nazis, and Gettr, a right-wing platform created by former Trump aide, Jason Miller.According to SimilarWeb’s estimates, Truth Social, which is being overseen by former dairy farmer/GOP congressman Devin Nunes, saw a sharp uptick of roughly 2 million daily visits when it first launched, but traffic quickly nosedived to approximately 300,000 daily visits shortly after that.
