The New York Post reports:
Former President Donald Trump’s new social media platform Truth Social is expected to launch on Presidents’ Day, Feb. 21, according to the latest Apple App Store listing. Truth Social, which the 45th president announced in October, is the latest conservative alternative to large social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, which the former president has repeatedly slammed for censorship.
The new app is being launched by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) and can be preordered before its expected release date. According to the app store listing, users of the platform can share their “unique opinion by posting a TRUTH, Re-TRUTH, photo, news story or video link to communicate with your friends, customers, and the world.”

The SEC is already investigating the company behind Trump’s social media venture. Much like the rest of us, they have questions after TMTG said they raised $1 BILLION.

The Trump Media and Technology Group has reportedly partnered with the NRSC to fundraise for the 2022 midterm elections.
Users claim they received texts allowing them to reserve usernames on Truth Social in exchange for a donation to the NRSC.
