Ever since former President Donald Trump's lies and attacks prompted a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol, he's been banned from a host of social media outlets—most notably, the Twitter account that served as a defining aspect of his historically unpopular presidency.

After Twitter permanently banned Trump from the outlet for inciting his followers to violence, Trump and his allies falsely claimed the company was in violation of his First Amendment right to free speech. They subsequently promised a new outlet that would allow conservative voices to be heard, with little to no moderation.

This first iteration of this came in the form of what was a glorified blog on his official website—only allowing Trump to post and his followers to share the posts, not interacting or making posts of their own. The site was pulled from the web after Trump grew dissatisfied with the mockery and lack of readership.

Then, the Trumposphere's saw the creation of GETTR, a social media platform founded by Trump's former spokesman, Jason Miller, but Jennifer Jacobs of Bloomberg News later reported that Trump wouldn't be joining the outlet, focusing instead on once again creating his own platform.

And on Wednesday, Trump finally announced that platform—the ironically titled "TRUTH Social," which Trump said would stand up to the "tyranny of big tech."

He wrote in a statement:

"We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American president has been silenced, This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon."

The latest venture was widely mocked on social media.




The site, which wasn't even supposed to be open for registration yet, is facing a litany of blunders and accused of engaging in shady legal behavior.


And because there was no Twitter account for TRUTH Social before the announcement, someone made sure to snag the username.


TRUTH Social's founder, Donald Trump, told over 30 thousand lies over the course of his presidency.

Florence Pugh And Josh Gad Lead Celebrity Outrage After Cornell Frat Members Assigned Essays As Punishment For Sexual Assault

About a week ago, the story of the "Cornell 7" allegations broke publicly when a civil lawsuit was filed by a former Cornell University student known only as Jane Doe. The lawsuit detailed an October 2024 sexual assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house and Cornell University's handling of the assault after it was reported to school officials.

The public backlash against the seven rapists and four university officials named in the suit, as well as Cornell University, the Ivy League, and fraternities as a whole has been swift.

Trump Hit With Blistering Factcheck After Making Patently False Claim About Prices Going 'Way Down'

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale after he claimed to members of the press that "almost every price has come way down" following Joe Biden's presidency.

Earlier in the day, Trump bragged to reporters that the United States has the "best poverty," sparking immediate criticism. He continued to lie later, even as inflation remains above the level recorded when Biden left office, economic growth has slowed, and the cost of filling a gas tank has surged roughly 50% since the war against Iran began.

President Donald Trump and the White House are facing criticism after Fox aired a new taxpayer-funded campaign ad that was "paid for by the U.S. government" several times over the weekend.

The black-and-white ad uses slowed footage of Trump walking through a hallway, accompanied by his voiceover pledging that "this is the final battle."
