Donald Trump announced about his plan of launching revolutionary technology company, on October.

 Former President of America Donald Trump said, “I created Truth Social… to stand up to the tyranny of big tech we live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter yet your favorite American president has been silenced.”

Hence the application launched on President’s day 21st of February, but after six weeks it had problems, waiting list of nearly 1.5 million are unable to use it.

The app Truth Social looks a lot like Twitter application, a platform that banned Trump after a mob of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building.

Twitter have believed that Donald Trump is making false claims the election had been “stolen”, had called it violence. Trump was banned for life on 8 January, 2021.

Trump’s app might look like Twitter, but it isn’t available on Android phones, web browsers or we can say to most people outside the US.

Joshua Tucker, director of NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics, said,

“It’s been a disaster,” and Republican ally of Trump, who did not wish to be identified, and said: “Nobody seems to know what’s going on.”

There was some assumption that this problem would soon be resolved and Trump would start posting his “truths” in the upcoming days but nothing happened.

Chief executive of Truth Social Devin Nunes said, the goal was to be “fully operational” by the end of March but quite why the app is having so many problems has baffled experts.

Some have pointed to Truth Social’s partnership with Rumble, a video-sharing platform that looks a bit like YouTube.

Trump has around 750,000 followers but still he has not posted a “truth” for well over a month.

Mr Tucker said “Maybe they’re holding him back, that’s his last chance to launch it – when suddenly Trump comes in and starts being really active on it, that will get a buzz.”

Still Truth Social could still rival competitors such as Gab and Gettr, hence at the moment, Truth Social has become embarrassing. This platform supposed to stand up to Silicon Valley’s heavyweights which has barely been able to get to its feet.
