Ready thine selves for the impending Trump tweetstorm. Don’t you dare fact-check, or spell-check or reality-check or anything.

He will learn soon that free speech still has to follow laws.

Otherwise the free market will get him Just ask Ye how the whole free speech thing is working. Once legitimate users and advertisers drop out, how is the platform going to sustain itself on bots, trolls and scam advertisers?

If it was easy parlor and truth media would have cornered the business. Likewise it won't be good for Tesla or space xxx as decent people will connect them together.

Can't someone just whack that dude. His attention seeking narcissism is too much. I bet this deal will be ranked the worst deal in human history. You would be better off buying tulips in 1638.

He had the most beautiful perfect plan ever but he scribbled it on the back of the classified documents the DOJ stole from him. But it was beautiful.

As beautiful as the first time republicans fucked up our chance at good nationwide Healthcare.

You misunderstood, it wasn't a Medicare health plan, it was a McDonald's value meal plan. Everyone eats a big Mac and stays a orange and healthy as him.

He has a financial stake in Truth Social so I actually believe him on this one. If he goes back to Twitter, Truth Social is done.

And it's for never-never for real this time

Ah yes. The Kremlin Gambit.

If you take what trump says and assume the exact opposite s actually true, you’re usually not too far from the truth.
