Donald Trump’s Truth Social App Fails Greatly, Report Says

    Donald Trump’s Truth Social app has fallen in signups and traffic since its tech-challenged launch last month, The Wrap reported Tuesday.

    The former president’s social media network for MAGA disciples has sunk to about 60,000 new users per week.

    “This is 93% less than in its launch week, when it saw 872,000 installs the week of Feb. 21,” Stephanie Chan of the analytics site Sensor Tower told The Wrap. “We estimate that Truth Social has reached approximately 1.2 million installs to date since launch.”

    Truthsocial.com has reportedly dropped to 1.9 million weekly visits from a peak of 6 million in its debut week for the Twitter-like platform, according to Similarweb stats quoted by the news website.

    Team Trump created Truth Social after being banned from Twitter for allegedly inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

    The digital opinion site has struggled in a conservative space already occupied by right-wing companies like Gettr.

    Truth Social also caught the snarky attention of talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel.

    “Truth Social has been such a disappointment so far, maybe Trump should rename it ‘Don Jr.’,” Kimmel winked last month.

    Trump was so disturbed by the stumbling rollout that he was heard asking, “What the hell is going on?” on the phone, The Daily Beast reported.
