FCMUkrRXIAUpWsJ1 — "Truth Social", d'un service de vidéo à la demande et de podcasts "non-woke"

Trump so wants to outdo his subscription vitamin scheme that wanted your urine sample. This time it’s an optic addiction to disperse the Big Lie among other disinformation. Its pretense is to challenge Mark Z, the Mouse, and even CNN, and exceeds the ambitions of defunct Trump-TV, the propaganda arm of the Trump election campaign in 2020. Getting banned from Twitter and suspended from Facebook were certainly factors, as is getting $300 million in mad money.

Former President Donald Trump announced his plans to launch a new media company Wednesday night, in an attempt to "fight back against Big Tech," according to a statement posted to Twitter by the ex-commander-in-chief's spokesperson, Liz Harrington.

The new venture's first project will apparently be a social media network called "TRUTH Social."

The goal is to "create a rival to the liberal media consortium" that has "used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America," according to the statement.

Former President Donald Trump said that he had lined up the investment money to create his own publicly traded media company. If finalized, the deal could give the new company access to nearly $300 million in cash. https://t.co/VpcpKRIKi2

The idea Trump’s new venture is designed not only to compete with Twitter/FB but also take on Netflix/Disney+ is laughable. The investment in staff, server farms and original content creation would be massive.

Trump isn’t going to do that.

A SPAC is a company with no operations that offers securities for cash and places substantially all the offering proceeds into a trust or escrow account for future use in the acquisition of one or more private operating companies.

No truth to the rumor that Trump is the fifth ninja turtle

“Totally Marjorie Taylor Greene”

For those asking, the public domain for what appeared to be the mobile beta of Trump's new social media platform 'TRUTH Social' has been taken offline.

It took less than two hours for Donald Trump's new social media to collapse under the weight of embarrassment. Trump's own account was quickly compromised and proceeded to post a photo of a pig defecating on its own scrotum. Access to the site is now shut down.
