Since his banishment from Twitter, former President Donald Trump has remained relatively quiet online. Without a reliable social outlet to spread his all-caps sermons, he has decided to take matters into his own hands in announcing the upcoming launch of TRUTH Social. The platform, which will go on limited release for select invitees in November 2021, is a response to Big Tech for trying to silence Trump. But he will not become a martyr. This will be a safe space for far-right Republicans to speak freely without the censorship they feel Trump was so unfairly given.

As the platform’s name suggests, users will be able to share the true hard facts about politics that the left have been trying to hide, just as long as they don’t “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site” as per its terms of service lest they risk being kicked off the platform. How noble of Trump to play the exact same move that he accused Big Tech of doing to preserve the political freedom exclusively of those who worship his great orange image! 

From this launch we can expect nothing less than an innovative, authentic platform. That is, to the standards of a lying, underhanded cheat. TRUTH Social has not yet reached its limited release date and is already facing legal action for violating its software licensing agreement. Users may rest assured that despite his online absence Trump has not lost sight of himself and continues to play dirty.  

A new poll from Morning Consult and Politico released a new poll indicating that over 60% of Republicans intend to use this platform upon its launch. Nothing says reliable source of information like a biased platform catered to Republicans and Trump supporters.

Despite the promising elements revealed about TRUTH Social, there is one major setback of the app that could be detrimental to its success: prohibiting the overuse of capital letters. Trump’s historical Twitter rampages are most notable for their excessive capitalization. To strip away such a distinctive trademark of the Trump social media experience on the very platform that is meant to restore his voice from the so-called tyranny of Big Tech is akin to macaroni without cheese. It seems rather ludicrous that a platform made by none other than Trump Media and Technology Group could so carelessly strip away the essence of Trump’s presence on social media.

As a platform that “encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology” users who are white, Republican and anti-vax can finally feel safe on a platform where they won’t be oppressed by the big, bad liberals who attempt to dismantle American values.

Over 75 million users are projected to join the platform. That’s over 75 million people who are projected to be on the path towards the “TRUTH.” People who will place themselves in an internet echo-chamber that will reinforce what they definitely know as the “TRUTH.” A place where outsiders will not be able to refute them with “science” and “logic.” TRUTH Social will harbor uninformed opinions for all.
