Former President Donald Trump’s TRUTH Social platform, a mimic of Twitter, was rolled out just a few weeks ago and is already failing.
While it was briefly one of the most popular apps on the Apple Store, it has since fallen to the 28th spot, as Americans lose interest in it.
Trump has reportedly become frustrated and angry over the slow growth of the app, which he intended to become more popular than Twitter and other social media platforms that booted him after the Jan. 6 fiasco.
According to download data from Apptopia, downloads of the TRUTH Social app have fallen from a high of 170,000 a day to just 8,000 a day, and is now just the 355th most popular app on Apple devices in general.
Daily active users of the app, a crucial metric, are just 513,000. In comparison, Twitter has some 217,000,000 active daily users.
Trump and TRUTH Social CEO Devin Nunes have cautioned that it will take time to get all the kinks out of the app, but incessant error messages and a convoluted sign-up process have caused frustration among its active and prospective users.
Trump had said that he was “excited” to begin posting “truths” (the platform’s equivalent of a tweet) on the app, but he has thus far posted just one message, sent on the app’s launch date, which reads, “Your favorite President will see you soon!”

His time is up
The app is also filled with a lot of anti-Semites. I left the app a few days ago because of that.
Echoes of casinos, wine, steak business failures. And you’re supposed to believe he’s a great business man. Good thing for him that his father was rich or nobody would’ve ever heard of him.
Did anyone really believe the Orange moishiach of the right wing lunatic fringe could successfully start a social media site (or as others have noted, any other business)? When he hired former Congressman and cow-farmer Devin Nudnick to be the CEO of the new venture, it became clear this was another way for him to try to retain some attention. Perhaps OAN or NewsMax will hire him and the Pillow guy to create a new show called the Biggest Loser.
