Trump is Creating His Own Social Network
The Claim
Former president Donald Trump is going to release his own social network.
Emerging story
After being banned from just about every major social media platform, many have been wondering where Trump will take his commentary next. Some have predicted he will use Gab or some other right-wing website. Now, it seems that Trump is going to start his own social network.
Reactions have been polarizing to say the least. Some news outlets predict that it will be a scam, while others doubt whether it’ll succeed, and others still support the idea.
Misbar’s Analysis
While details thus far are scarce, there are signs that Trump is going forward with his plan. The social network was first announced by one of Trump’s spokespeople. In an interview on a Fox-affiliated podcast, he said that there will be more announcements coming in the future.
There have also been reports that Trump plans on partnering with an existing social network, specifically FreeSpace Social, who currently has a “positivity-based” platform.
