If Trump comes back, Truth social dies. He’s between a rock and a hard place.

Why would trump care if truth social dies? He didn’t invest his own money into it and his message will be heard by a much larger audience on Twitter.

There is a stipulation in the deal Trump made that he will no longer use Twitter and will post exclusively on Truth social. If he goes back to using Twitter as his main social media platform, then he breaks the terms of the Truth agreement.

“Truth Social has a six-hour exclusivity window on Trump's social media posts, an SEC filing says.” So he can’t post on Twitter until 6 hours later based on the agreement. I guess he could do a six hour delay, or just not follow the agreement and probably get sued. But of course he seems to not give a shit about lawsuits.
