Truth Social launched a few weeks back, but it’s not going anywhere and Trump is reportedly upset about it.
In an appearance at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando last week, Trump said the app’s launch was still ongoing. “It’s slowly been opened, people are getting on and they’re loving the product and we’re getting a voice,” he claimed to a reporter from the pro-MAGA Right Side Broadcasting Network.
