Banned from Facebook and Twitter after the assault on the Capitol fomented on social media, Donald Trump announces that he is creating his own social platform.
The name says it all: "Truth", or "truth".
The former American president makes it known in a note: the property will be called Trump Media and Technology Group (Tmtg) and will be listed on Nasdaq through a merger with Digital World Acquisition Group.
The new company, headquartered in Trump's private club, Mar-A-Lago, will be chaired by the former president: "The mission of this group is to create a rival to the consortium of liberal media," says Trump. "I created Truth Social to fight the Big Tech tyranny - he adds -. We live in a world where the Taliban have a huge presence on Twitter, while your favorite president is still silenced. This is unacceptable!".
Truth Social, according to the press release, is currently available for pre-order in the Apple App Store, while a beta version will be available starting November 2021. A nationwide launch is expected in the first quarter of 2022 .
According to some observers, the announcement reinforces the hypothesis of a Trump candidacy for the US presidential elections in 2024.
