Former President Donald Trump called into The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show to tout his upcoming social site, ironically named Truth Social. Of course, the twice impeached one-term president claimed that his platform would be inclusive for liberals and conservatives. However, he didn’t mention that his free speech site does not allow users to criticize the platform or criticize Trump.
“If you look at Twitter, it’s become very boring,” Trump insisted. “They’ve lost a tremendous amount of audience. It’s become boring as can be because conservatives are off it. They got me out — I had hundreds — I mean, between Facebook and Instagram and Twitter, I had way over a 100 million people, way, way over, closer to the next number.”
You can listen to the audio below:
“Frankly, if you look at Twitter, it’s become boring.”
TRUE!

I predict a spectacular crash and burn on truth social. I just don’t know if it will be 6 months, a year or less.

As with all Trump ventures, TruthSocial will flop and Trump will file for bankruptcy. #TrumpForPrison

After Trump was banned from Twitter for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection, shares tumbled more than 10 percent. That was in January; however, by February, Twitter beat Wall Street earnings expectations for the fourth quarter of 2020 and netted a gain of 5 million daily users — less than analysts were projecting, Variety reported. So, no, the behemoth social site isn’t bleeding out because they decided to ban the former president.
Trump took Twitter to court to get his account reinstated this week. However, U.S. District Judge Robert N. Scola rejected the Twitter-addicted former president’s argument that the social site’s terms did not apply to him when he was president, noting that the former president “has not advanced any legal authority to support his contention.”
