Donald Trump has revealed his new social platform truth social.
And we for the first time have some screenshots of it and
it was instantly declared by everyone who saw it wildly hilarious and
laughable and sad at the same time.
We're going to go through all the reasons why true social screen captures are so
ridiculous and here's the first one.
The first funny thing about it is that Junior is his sad hype man,
he was the one who leaked the screen caps saying time for
some truth love me daddy breaking.
This was Donald Trump's first post on truth social and
trump tweeted get, he shared a trump would look like a tweet saying get
ready your favorite president will see you soon.
And this is a screen cap of a truth from truth social.
As ken clip in stein a lavender check as he's known in the truth
social sphere tweeted low engagement is widened outlaw.
He noticed that when Donna he shared his dad's first truth.
It looks like he wiped out the paltry engagement from the site and
how there weren't that many retweets for it [LAUGH] which is amazing.
And another funny thing about it's just twitter, right?
Like let's look at another screen cap from it this is just like the full post and
it looks exactly like twitter.
There's a follow button and unfollowed button hilariously instead of blue checks,
they've got a red check which is a little on the nose.
And then instead of tweets, they refer to the communications which look exactly
like tweets as truths Ravana, what is your reaction to the truth social news?
>> Well I think that we need to counter the misinformation that
you just spread that tweet actually had more likes and
retweets excuse me that truth had more likes and
more re truths than any presidential inauguration.
I mean any tweet in the history of the country,
I mean it's ridiculous I and who's gonna use it right?
Is that aside from some conservatives but the reason conservatives like
twitter is to dunk on the Libs and now trump has created exactly twitter but
without Libs to dunk on or at least that they think they're dunking on.
And it like takes the fun out of it for
them I just don't understand putting so much effort and
money into a project that is just so clearly not going to be successful.
>> It's success is all relative right, I do want to talk about something that
I found out while researching this which blew my mind.
Now you might remember that when I think it was getter got joe Rogan to sign up,
they touted how many followers Rogan has on getter.
And the truth was when people looked at that that was just his follower count on
twitter plus the number of people who followed him on getter which revealed
this dynamic that they had to then issue a correction about afterwards which
is all they do is make it so that you can tweet something on twitter and
it automatically goes together.
So it's and and it imports all your followers from twitter in together
regardless of whether those people are following you on getter.
And that I think reveals like the central truth of what people are looking for
in this site.
They want, to feel, wildly popular and super engaged and they want that feeling
that they are the only game in town and it's fully their world but
they don't want any pushback and that's exactly what better gives them and
that's exactly what true social will give them.
It'll import everything including the entire look and I wonder if that's
actionable like legally actionable in terms of stealing exactly the same layout.
Who knows if they stole source code and infrastructure and
what part of that is legal when they do it I have literally no idea but
I do know that it is so sad on its face and
pathetic that these guys are just doing their version of Twitter.
More embarrassing than that is here's a photo of what it looks like when you try
to download the truth social app and embarrassing to me if you zoom in, you can
see that it was expected on February 21 to be downloadable that's the next image.
That is outdated because they had to delay it and
those delays coupled with the fact that this is being run by
Devin Nunes who lost a lawsuit to a fictional cow,
a fictional cow and a fake version of his own mom.
He sued a fake cow that's who was in charge of it,
the company that is known as like a blank check funds because they just
wrote a giant check to truth social because they know it will be as valuable
as people believe it is because it's a place for eyeballs that are republican.
And right wingers and the right wing populists, whatever that is.
Digital world slumped the entire blank check group
slumped because truth socials launch date was delayed.
I do want to give some background on truth from trump himself he said this,
I created truth social and
the trump media technology group to stand up to the tyranny of big tech.
We live in a world where the taliban has a huge presence on twitter yet
your favorite American president has been silence.
He said in October, he said this is unacceptable I am excited to send out my
first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon which we showed you the trump media
technology group was founded on a mission to give a voice to all.
I'm excited to soon be sharing my thoughts on true social and
will fight back against Big Tech.
Everyone asked me why someone doesn't stand up to Big Tech we will be soon and
yes you will see tweets or communications and troops from trump like this
famous one covfefe we will have that back he'll be making more covfefe.
F content again, but in terms of this hilarious double standard and
hypocrisy that right wingers cry about free speech and then don't
actually want that just to remind you another hilarious thing about true social.
Trump launches truth social media platform but
prohibits users from making fun of him.
As it said as a user of the site this is according to nme as
you must agree quote not to disparage tarnish or
otherwise harm in our opinion us and or
the site according to the terms of service of the website.
Alright what are your thoughts?
>> Well first trump was right my favorite American president was silenced that
was FDR and he was silenced by dying not trump being silenced by twitter.
I think also that the taliban should just infiltrate [LAUGH] This is just to get
one over on trump about that tweet just make a bunch of accounts on truth social.
Otherwise once this app finally drops I'm gonna spend a lot of time
stealing people's twitter ATS and then just making different truth
social accounts with their ATS like I can be Matt Damon on truth social,
know who will know, he's not going to get in on this app.
I could be the real Matt Damon there and you know I encourage everyone else to
become celebrities untruth social and make make the app a better place.
>> Everything about it is a lie and for I always have in my mind like
Charlie Kirk saying like it's double talk or double think or
we are in a 1984 Orwellian world where like truth is lie, War is peace.
Like truth is lies, It's stuff he made up, he got banned from twitter and
I don't think trump necessarily should have been banned from twitter.
I don't care, I think it's hilarious that he was, but
I don't think it's necessarily the best policy point, but
like everything I've learned about truth is that it's a lot.
They're artificially inflating their follower counts, they are that you might
as they're incentivized to have like Matt Damon on the site.
So I guarantee you that their verification process is pretty weak.
And they tell you that it's a place where you can speak your truth, which by
the way, when trump saying, I'm sending my first truth, It's like to hear him
say something as like lefty as like I'm speaking my truth [LAUGH] Is priceless.
But like it's a place where they can go and
lie as long as they're not speaking their truth about how ridiculous the website is.
>> Brett, you need to stop centering yourself and
going over trump's lived experience and let him speak his truth, come on.
>> So crazy
