Trump's Truth Social app called disaster.In October, Donald Trump announced that he planned to start a revolutionary technology company. The app was launched on the occasion of President's Day on February 21, but is having problems six weeks later.

A waiting list of about 1.5 million is unable to use it. No. 1,419,631 Truth Social looks a lot like Twitter, a platform that was banned after a mob of Mr Trump supporters attacked the United States Capitol. Twitter believed that Donald Trump had "stolen" the election by making false claims, fueling violence. He was banned for life on January 8, 2021.

Truth Social may look like Twitter, but it's not available to most people on Android phones, web browsers, or apparently outside the United States. "It was a disaster," said Joshua Tucker, director of NYU's Center for Social Media and Politics. And a Republican ally of Mr. Trump, who did not want to be identified, said: "No one knows what's going on.

" On February 21, Truth Social was one of the most downloaded apps in the App Store - but many people who downloaded it were unable to use it.

Popular among conservatives and far-right people, Rumble was to provide the "critical backbone" for the site's infrastructure. But if Truth Social is having server issues, why did it take so long to recover? A Republican source close to Mr. Trump said it would take a few days, not six weeks, for him to recover.

"It simply came to our notice then. "No one understands why." Rival rival Mr Trump is said to be angry, asking why so many people are not using Truth Social. He has about 750,000 followers but has not posted any "truth" for over a month.
