Donald Trump, the former President of the United States of America has announced the launch of his new social media platform called ‘Truth social‘.
According to reports, Trump’s media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) merged with Digital World Acquisition Corporation to become a publicly listed company with a potential valuation of up to $1.7 billion.
The former president announced that Truth Social is set to launch in early 2022, to compete with the likes of Facebook and Twitter — two sites that have banned his accounts.
Trump also announced that he will launch a ”subscription video on demand service” to rival Google’s YouTube.
Trump wrote in the announcement Wednesday night, October 20 as follows;
‘I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon,”
”TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech.
”Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!”
According to Trump, the move is a fulfillment of a promise to create a conservative media competitor to combat the liberal activism against his administration and in the 2020 presidential campaign.
Trump has already launched lawsuits against Twitter and Facebook for their responses to conservative views and speech.
