• The Orange Goon Can't Stop Whining

    Donald Trump Can’t Stop Whining About His Failing Social Media App

    As Donald Trump weighs another run for the White House (ed: for those
    dumbies who wonder why we keep bringing up the orange goon), the twice-impeached former president has made a point of embarking on new
    business opportunities to increase his wealth and maintain his personal
    brand. But unfortunately for Trump, one of his most heavily promoted ventures—Truth Social—is currently looking less like a success and more like an embarrassing dud.

    Even for a soft launch, Truth Social’s launch has been particularly
    soft. And after a botched rollout where most prospective users were
    simply added to a wait list, Trump has been grumbling about the app
    behind the scenes, according to two sources familiar with the matter,
    even as he’s tried to put on a brave face publicly.

    In recent weeks, sources have heard the former president on the phone
    swearing gratuitously and asking things like, “What the fuck is going
    on” with Truth Social.

    He’s repeatedly groused about the negative press and the
    less-than-stellar optics of the rollout, these sources said. And he’s demanded to know why more people aren’t using it—why the app isn’t swiftly dominating the competition.

    I don't know why anyone is surprised by an interest in the orange
    clown. Depending on your point of view he's at least as entertaining as
    either Jon Stewart or Jimmy Kimmel and maybe more entertaining than both
    of them combined.

    I expected a very soft "soft launch", so I don't know why the
    clown is surprised. They're actually doing better than I expected. I
    think he's stuck with an embarrassing problem. When he finally starts
    posting there, if ever, if that doesn't give their numbers a big boost
    he'll look like a loser. He don't want to be on board while the ship is
    going down. As usual it doesn't look like he has any of his money in the business.

    All of these Right-wing sites have the same problem. They *need* liberals to go on there and argue with them. It can get pretty boring if everyone is going to the same church and singing the same songs. The big successful sites depend on people who disagree. That's why it's easy to
    predict that his numbers will never get anywhere near Twitter's numbers.

    Yeah, the orange loser has a reverse Midas touch. Everything he
    touches turns to shit. He kneecapped this one before it even got started.

    "The Emptiness Inside Donald Trump’s New Social Media Platform"

    "The site promises a safe space for “free expression,” encouraging of “all viewpoints,” according to the welcome email, “as we do not discriminate against political ideology.”"

    There's YUGE exception to all that "truth" and "free speech".

    https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-truth-social-users-terms-donald-trump-1641183

    "Under ""Prohibited Activities" in the Terms of Service:

    "23. disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or
    the Site""

    Somehow I don't think either of us will be using that site much.
    The idiot is too dumb to realize that he seriously needs people like us.
