Trump social media platform faces money woes, modest following

Truth Social bills itself as Trump’s answer to platforms like Twitter, which he was ejected from after a mob he had egged on assaulted the US Capitol in January 2021. But six months later it is in 30th place in an Apple ranking of social media apps downloaded onto iPhones. — Reuters

NEW YORK: Signs are growing that Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social is in financial trouble, with just a modest following six months after launching.

Fox Business Network reported on Aug 25 that the platform has halted payments to the company that hosts it, RightForge, and owes US$1.6mil (RM7.15mil).
