What is the Truth Social app?
Truth Social is similar to Twitter, where users will have the ability to share “truths” as opposed to tweets.
The main newsfeed is referred to as the “truthfeed,” and those who re-share others’ posts will be “retruthing.”
Partnering with Rumble in December of 2021, Truth Social’s terms of service forbids users from their right to “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.”
Why did Trump create Truth Social?
After receiving a permanent ban from Twitter, Trump announced he was creating his own platform – Truth Social.

“We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American president has been silenced,” Trump said in a statement at the time.
