TRUMP IS BLOWING A GASKET OVER HIS JOKE OF A SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK
Truth Social has been a complete disaster and the ex-president seems to know it.

WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 09: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump addresses a rally against the Iran nuclear deal on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol September 9, 2015 in Washington, DC. Thousands of people gathered for the rally, organized by the Tea Party Patriots, which featured conservative pundits and politicians.
When Twitter banned Donald Trump for inciting a violent insurrection, the former president had two choices. The first was to accept that he no longer had a platform through which to terrorize the human race with every thought that came into his head and move on. The second was to throw a conniption fit over his First Amendment rights having supposedly been violated, and to use the opportunity to engage in some typical grifter-y behavior, such as launching a Twitter competitor through a shell company and making money off of his supporters. Obviously, Trump chose the latter, and while the money-making aspect seems to have worked out well for him thus far, the actual social media network is on track to be a bigger flop than Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, and the Trump Taj Mahal combined. And despite famously having a very loose grasp on reality, he apparently knows it!
The Daily Beast reports that when he’s not praising Vladimir Putin or coming up with ways to start a war between Russia and China, Trump has been incessantly whining about what an embarrassing flop Truth Social has turned out to be. Sources tell The Daily Beast they’ve heard the ex-president “swearing gratuitously” about the app on the phone and asking “What the fuck is going on” with the social network. Trump has regularly complained about the bad press and “less-than-stellar optics” the rollout has received, and demanded to know why it hasn’t immediately become a runaway success.
