Trump Tries to Explain His New Social Media Company and It Shows Just How Much He Misses Twitter

Trump has this crazy good idea for a social media platform. It is almost embarrassing that no one has ever even thought of this. He wants to develop a simple way for a lot of people to get their voices out to a lot of people.

What would a service like that even look like… well, it would look like Twitter only Trump would be allowed to participate and incite violent uprisings, tell lies, all that, with no accountability whatsoever. This is one of the few indications that he might be serious about running for office in 2024 because he would need access to some kind of platform and Rumble alone isn’t going to do it:

From Fox News:

“It is going to be, very simply, a way of getting our voice out to a lot of people. And when we get our voice out, there are a lot of people that want to hear this voice, because they don’t hear it.”

“I truly believe we have far more than 50 percent of the public of the people of this country—much more than 50 percent. This is a way of getting a strong word out from a lot of different people who should be heard.

Trump slammed the media, saying it “certainly is not a free press.”

If he truly had far more than 50% of the people in the United States the Republicans would be doing all they could to make voting as easy as going to the restroom. He knows damned well he doesn’t have anywhere near 50% of the public and that’s why he’s terrified of losing his Twitter voice. (He really doesn’t care about Facebook).

He misses Twitter like he misses being president, perhaps more so. But there is one thing of which we’re sure. A social media company set up to accommodate one person isn’t going to work.

In fact, it’ll probably end up a lot like Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump University, etc.
