I hope he pushes the alternatives, to help them grow. Part of the reason why the others aren’t growing as much is because many people aren’t aware of their existence.

I’m sure he will have alternatives to offer.

But several have tried to get a foot hold already, Parler, Gab, etc. The problem is companies like Facebook and Twitter lose BILLIONS before they start to show a profit. That’s the entry fee into that business. And they way they make money is sleazy.

And, one thing I worry about is Trump has picked a lot of ineffective advisors.

President Donald Trump has scheduled a press conference for Wednesday where he will make a “major announcement” about his plans for social media, according to reports.The presser will be held at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey and is planned for 11 a.m.Newsmax will broadcast the briefing live.Trump is expected to reveal his highly-anticipated plan to take on Big Tech after being banned by social media oligarchs at Facebook and Twitter.

“Mr. Trump will have a major announcement about social media,” a source close to Trump reportedly told Newsmax.The 45th POTUS has been teasing plans for a new social media platform since he was banned by the major tech companies.

Trump was falsely accused of inciting violence through his questioning of the election results.Facebook has said they will reconsider their ban on Trump after the midterm elections are out of the way.TRENDING: Joe Biden Took Half of Hunter Salary While VP Leaked Emails ShowHowever, Twitter has already said he will be banned for life.A second source told Newsmax that Trump plans to address and confront the social media companies that banned him from their platforms.Trump had previously promoted a personal message board in May in order to reach his millions of supporters but that website was eventually dismantled after social media platforms banned people from linking to it.

On Thursday, former Trump team members launched their new social media platform called Gettr, which was supposed to compete with Twitter.However, Trump told the media that he was planning his own app.Gettr was briefly hacked within hours of being launched when someone was able to change screen names of famous accounts and post pro-Palestinian messages.

Trump’s social media platform will challenge the anti-conservative censorship from Big Tech oligarchs
In March a source from the Trump team told Fox News that they were taking their time on the new social media platform because they’d only get one chance to get it right.In an interview in February, Trump told Newsmax that Twitter had become very boring and that he wouldn’t return to it even if they lifted their permanent lifetime ban

One big announcement, to be followed later by law suits from the social media giants. My guess.

He said something to the effect: "And these are very good lawyers... well I'll let you know in a year or so..." which brought a chuckle. He knows his election crew was a bunch of clowns.

Not looking for a settlement, they want a legal determination. Also says how terrible NPR and other public news outlets censor information.

I was disappointed to see the fundraising appeal. They should be able to sue for legal fees, and put their money where their mouth is.

Class action lawsuits are classically taken on by attorneys who get a massive payout if they win—with maybe some of those they file the suit for getting a few pennies or a voucher or discount or something.
