Trump 'moving forward' with plans to start social media platform: sources

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Donald Trump and his team are "moving forward" with plans to start their own social media platform, sources familiar with the matter told Fox News.

"We're moving forward," one source said Tuesday. "And President Trump will have his voice back one way or another."

The source said they are "taking the time to do it right."

"You have one shot at it," the source said. "We're dotting our Is and crossing our Ts— we'll be out with something."

Trump senior adviser Jason Miller earlier this month hinted at the plans for Trump to create his own form of social media after Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and YouTube permanently banned him from their platforms following the Capitol riot in January.

Just this week, Facebook removed a video of an interview with Trump conducted by his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, saying any content "in the voice of Donald Trump" would be scrubbed from the social media platform.

A group of Trump officials were sent an email from a Facebook employee before the interview was posted, warning that any content posted on Facebook and Instagram "in the voice of President Trump is not currently allowed on our platforms (including new posts with President Trump speaking)" and warned that it "will be removed if posted, resulting in additional limitations on accounts that posted it."

"This guidance applies to all campaign accounts and Pages, including Team Trump, other campaign messaging vehicles on our platforms, and former surrogates," the email, posted on Instagram by Trump's son, Eric Trump, stated.

If he starts a version of facebook, it will go viral almost instantly.

Big mistake.
The left only needs to join it and they know everything he has in mind.
The correct plan is to create the equivalent of what the RATS have had running since 2010.
A private community.

75+ million potential users.

I worry about the GOP somehow leaching off his site just like they did on his campaign site. Not suggesting they be blocked out, just don’t let them use the site for anything financial. They will just distribute the funds to RINOs and anti-Trump elements of the GOP (of which there are many).

And that’s just the ones that voted. :)

The rest are just a “sea of alternatives”. None are working because they need a “critical mass” membership. Kinda like why bars have “ladies night”.

A Trump sponsored one would be an almost instant hit and seriously drain facebook. And it directly appeals to the facebook demographic.

Ditto!
The best thing we can all do when this launches is to tell everyone you know something like this:

I am abandoning my account at this bigoted and biased social media platform.
Apparently, they don't seem to appreciate the benefits of the free sharing of thought, opinion and idea.
I can now be found here (**insert your user account access link to President Trump's new site**)

“You have one shot at it”

Disagree. If they introduce it one step at a time, learning as they go, they can make the final thing a smashing success.

Or perhaps there will never be a final thing as it’ll keep evolving.

“Big mistake.”
I agree. However you can always send a ‘Private’ message thru his website. No?

Facebook and Twitter will rue the day they became nothing more than propagandists and sold out Americans.

Once there is a viable alternative I will celebrate watching people ditch them for the new platform.

All I want to know is does Trump’s new website show today’s interview between him and his daughter in law Lara Trump?
As most of you may already know, that interview was deleted from Facebook and Instagram within an hour of it being posted by Lara.

A couple more stimulus checks and President Trump will have all he needs to launch a major tv-radio-movie network.

Keep that money coming DC!

That too.

With enough stimulus check funding the possibilities are endless.

It was so nice of the crats to gift me that mmmmm... $1800 so far that I sent off to President Trump.

We will hang them with their own stimulus checks...
