Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers, a Republican who has made a name for herself as one of former President Donald Trump's more passionate apologists, was ridiculed after she urged him to create a new search engine “we can TRUST.”
President Trump, please make a real Search Engine we can TRUST.— Wendy Rogers (@Wendy Rogers) 1647035886
While Trump has not been in the business of creating search engines, he has attempted to launch a social media platform of his own. The platform, Truth Social, promises "open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology." It is part of the new Trump Media Technology Group (TMTG).
Trump was widely mocked after news outlets reported that Truth Social's terms of service include a clause stating that users may not "disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site." The platform was hacked within hours of going live.
Rogers' tweet prompted many to remind her of Trump's many failed business ventures, suggesting that creating a search engine would only provide Trump with another opportunity to grift his supporters.
This chick is the joke of the year, humpty trumpty only creates the grift, never mind a search engine! He is not very bright! @WendyRogersAZ but neither are you.https://twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— whydontyoucare (@whydontyoucare) 1647258843
@WendyRogersAZ @foxandfriends Trust and Trump in the same sentence made me laugh out loud. Do you actually have any self respect Wendy?https://twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— Lord Huff and Puff (@Lord Huff and Puff) 1647111042
Yea..cause his track record of success in this foray is just stellar...https://twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— \u03b2\u03b9\u00e5\u03ba\u03b5 \ud83c\udf7a\u00af\_(\u30c4)_/\u00af\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@\u03b2\u03b9\u00e5\u03ba\u03b5 \ud83c\udf7a\u00af\_(\u30c4)_/\u00af\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1647108843
It\u2019s only cost five dollars to get in and two dollars per search. Grifters gotta grift.https://twitter.com/wendyrogersaz/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— Brian Miguel (@Brian Miguel) 1647116585
Can you imagine? "Your search is very important. You're not just a number, but you're currently 892,765 in line."https://twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ/status/1502403519441252352?t=F61bgRPCY-C_1ljzUDoYxw&s=19\u00a0\u2026— \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2 Trump for Prison \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2 Trump for Prison \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1647048723
Others reminded her that Trump has been banned from Twitter since early 2021.
I'm Sorry. The number you have reached has been Disconnected.https://twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— Robert Ellingsworth (@Robert Ellingsworth) 1647098880
I\u2019m thinking reaching out to a guy through a platform he\u2019s been banned from might mean @WendyRogersAZ doesn\u2019t quite know how tech workshttps://twitter.com/WendyRogersAZ/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— Brutally Honest Abe (@Brutally Honest Abe) 1647087175
1. He\u2019s not on the app\n2. This seems like a prayerhttps://twitter.com/wendyrogersaz/status/1502403519441252352\u00a0\u2026— Rowan Babintsev (@Rowan Babintsev) 1647047969
Why don't you send him a DM... oh wait... nevermind— \ud83c\udf0aSheryl Lynne #EndTheFilibuster (@\ud83c\udf0aSheryl Lynne #EndTheFilibuster) 1647047637
Newsflash: Trump is permanently banned from Twitter, so he can\u2019t see this tweet. \n\n(P.S. - He\u2019s apparently not posting on Truth Social, so he won\u2019t see it there either.)— SELMa (@SELMa) 1647042712
He's not on Twitter. Go on TruthSocial. He'll read your message there.— Hildy Johnson \ud83d\udc83 (@Hildy Johnson \ud83d\udc83) 1647052913
Twitter banned Trump from its platform in the days following the events of January 6, the day a mob of Trump's supporters attacked the nation's seat of government on the false premise that the 2020 general election had been stolen.
In a statement at the time, Twitter noted that a "close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them" contributed to the company's decision to permanently suspend his account.
Ned Segal, Twitter's Chief Financial Officer, later stressed that the ban will remain in effect even if Trump does run for office again, a statement that came amid concerns that allowing Trump back on the platform at any point could further incite violence.
