The rollout of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s new Truth Social app has amassed a waitlist of over 500,000 users. The release of the iOS-only (for now) app hit the No. 1 spot on Apple’s App Store and, some 72 hours later, it remains atop Apple’s list of most popular apps.
The app rolled out on the Apple Store late Sunday evening and quickly earned the No. 1 spot on the top rated free applications, but it also came with its fair share of issues… Users who download Truth Social are being put on a ‘waitlist’ hundreds of thousands of places long, despite signups being open for more than 24 hours. An attempt to open an account on Tuesday morning by DailyMail.com showed at least 372,378 places in line – that line has raised to at least 500,000 by Wednesday afternoon.
Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp, the company behind Truth Social, rose about 14 percent on Tuesday.
The app has 4.2 stars out of more than 25,000 ratings – the vast majority 5 stars.
The social media venture marks the former president’s return to social media… It’s now the number one free app on iPhones and iPads, followed by HBO Max, an app called Talking Ben the Dog, TikTok and YouTube. It also beats out other social media apps of Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, which are ranked seventh, eighth and ninth on the Apple App Store chart respectively…
The app was available to download shortly before midnight ET [on February 20] and was automatically downloaded to Apple devices belonging to users who had put in pre-orders. It’s not available on Android phones yet.
Trump’s social platform should be ‘fully operational’ by late March according to Trump Media & Technology Group Chief Executive Devin Nunes, a former California congressman.

Obviously Putin is not afraid of your toes today Joe — he declared war in Ukraine. The world will be watching you…
He’s not President. Even when he was, he did nothing except ‘Executive Time’ six hours per day. Let him run again, and lose the popular vote [again] to become a three-time loser. Couldn’t happen to a nicer loser.
The amount of news hidden by the libturd media is staggering.
The amount of lies told by the libturd media is staggering.
The amount of stupidity that it takes not to know this is staggering.
we are deeply honoured that you have chosen this special moment where you humiliate yourself here on Tr*mpDailyN00BZ
“Loser” That would be presidentish biden.
Study Reveals Maricopa Counted 200,000+ Ballots With Mismatched Signatures Without Review (“Curing”) – February 23, 2022
In Arizona there were AT LEAST 229,430 early ballots with CLEARLY mismatched signatures in an “election” supposedly “decided” by 10,457 votes.
Anyone who stands by the results of the 2020 presidential election because their guy “won” and/or “Orange Man Bad” is fool who hates election integrity and, therefore, America.
No wars.
No soldiers killed.
More that a couple ME Peace agreements–with some that have never embraced the thought of peace with Israel.
1st person, let alone the Exec of the US, to stand up to Chn’as sht.
Highest blk & latino employment in history.
And…
Yeah…”did nothing.”
Another poster writes; “The amount of lies told by the libturd media is staggering.”
I hold up frazman as an example. Clearly one who’s hatred of a person is clouding vision greatly and has likely sourced info from sour sources. Russian collusion is true too, I bet.
“He did nothing?”
Trump held more events, more updates around the clock, more news conferences, more tweets, answered more questions from the media in a day than Biden in year.
The stupidity of Leftists is staggering…
T was “communicating”?…Hum! Filling up the web with fake news all the way!
Luckily, it’s not Biff Tannen to occupy the White House… That guy would just have dreamed to push the big button and start a 3rd worldwar!
Two facing megalomaniacs would have been way toi much for humanité to survive!
The Internet is returning to walled gardens, each with its own reality.
This just shows how he has no confidence with himself as usual. He’s so pathetic at this point in his sad life that he has to hide behind his own app. Civil society has rejected him and his terrorist attack on the US Capital. It’s been a fun train wreck watching him deteriorate mentally.
You’re late with your announcement. The “walled garden” has been quite vigorous since 2016. In reality, humans have a propensity to be “tribal” and “walled gardens” are evidence, but ’16 brought an unseen (at least in my 5 decades) walled gardens construction, which made Truth more than scarce. I’m talking real truth..the kind that remains true and not followed by “you were bamboozled earlier.” Russia collusion, Covid paranoia, racial upheaval have been the forums where deceit has brewed and disseminated.
Speaking of bamboozled…say hello to your president.
Truth is the last thing on his mind
Yer not very brite are ya, olson?
Coming from the repetitive troll who thinks it’s cute to offer under hand insults in the form of a question to strangers on the interwebs, it’s fair to say that all the critics of an orange former twitter addict could not be any less bright than the paid trolls like Hal who bully others incessantly here.
Hey, genius, tell us all again how “the wall are closing in.”
You’re on the wrong side. You’re not smart. Stupid people are on your side.
Anyone thinking the former dude accomplished anything is a loser. They can’t even name one bill he signed for the American bill. Name a single bill without using a computer. If you can’t, he accomplished nothing for you.
Hey ErnieJ, name me one bill the Democratic controlled House debated and sucessfully voted to eventually get to President Trump’s desk for him to sign. Without the aid of Google, name one! Betcha you can’t because the losers of the Democratic Party in control of the House were too busy pissing away the taxpayer money on pathetic investigations, unwarranted lawsuits, useless hearings and childish impeachments for Hillary Clinton’s collusion with a foreign entity and a phone call that did not result in 10 percent for the “Big Guy”.
However, I appreciate that Trump’s four years went by and the expansion of an ever increasing bloatness of mindless Big Government creating more bureaucracy, more agencies, more government workers, more funding and less freedom for the American people, never took place. So yeah, I’m glad I can’t name one bill and proud of that!
Donald Trump is a narcissistic pig who is only out for himself.
Sadly, there are millions of American Idiots willing to be marks for his ongoing grift.
The depth of libturd stupidity is staggering
Not nearly as staggering as your boundless stupidity, Hal. You love to insult but you never have any rational points of discussion. Why do you like being the chief asshole of the Qanon brigade?
As HAL puts it succintly, “The depth of libturd stupidity is staggering.”
TRUE STATEMENT. It’s been true for hundereds of years.
So rather than lower yourseld to call him “chief asshole of the Qanon brigade” I’d rather hear rational arguments what is wrong with that statement other than not polite…
Wait! I just figured it out: GoeB is short for Goebbels!
If you supported the lying, corrupt, racist dementia patient and whore, and still think you are smart, you just proved yourself too stupid to learn.
I see no point to trying to discuss and educate those too stupid to learn.
That is what losers always say. Too cute to get your hands dirty, snowflake?
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
From a tech standpoint (non-political view), when a company offers a new online platform, it’s usually offered as a “beta” first. Interested users are asked to sign up for the beta, and a limited number of people are accepted for the first round . . . so if you are an engineer working on the back end, you can’t be too happy with how this was rolled out . . . Here is my interpretation of why this was rolled out in a non-traditional way: 1) The goal of any political operation (Republican or Democrat) is to get people’s information (cell phone number, email, address, etc.), so they can create a mailing list of potential supporters. 2) With this personal information, you can then hit up these people for donations, etc., and you can sell their information to other political affiliates (i.e. There is big money in getting people’s personal information) . . . 3) Thus, when the engineers said, “Let’s ramp this up slowly”, the political apparatus likely responded, “Let’s get everyone signed up now” . . . 4) The end result is that you get a rollout that appears non-professional from a tech viewpoint. 5) If you are a supporter of this app, this should concern you, because it will be challenging to hire more competent engineers to build out the platform, when those engineers see how poorly it started.
Bravo! Clearly, he is going to be the next President, probably the last one before it becomes the United State of Trump. Wonder who will be VP this time – Ivanka or Junior?
Yer not very brite are ya, kopcake?
LOL. If you’re what being “brite” means, I’ll pass, Hollow Hal.
You could be right, elas, there are enough stupidity in a country to go for it!
I’ll take Ivanka or Junior over Kamala, Hunter or Ella Emhoff any time.
United States of Trump… Stop. Just stop. You are giving me a Patriot Boner.

Puttin is the russian “Trump”… A misery on Earth! A disaster and a shame to humanité!
Their deaths will celebrated immensely. Pure scum of this earth.
Donnie tRump is a commie spy for Russia who is a disgrace and will go to prison for being a Russian pawn. The absolute worst President and human being in the world.
Under President Trump, the last duly-elected U.S. President, we had four years of peace. Peace was even breaking out in the Middle East.
“Russia, Russia Russia” was fake news planted by the failed Hillary Clinton campaign; a conspiracy far worse than Watergate. Try to keep up:
Democrats all knew – and did nothing to stop the Russia collusion hoax – Adriana Cohen, NY Post, February 18, 2022
But, hey, no mean tweets.
https://twitter.com/gruuv247/status/1496847059760123909
Do you really want that fake president back?
4 years of peace? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagagagagsgsgagagahshahahahahahagah. Oh man.
Hhahahahahshahahahahahahshagsgsgsgsggssghahshahah. Lord these trumpcucks need to get laid.
It is a proven fact that the Demonrats are colliding with Russia, while blaming Trump.
You have just proven yourself to be too stupid to learn.
Right. Because it’s historically been democrats who go to Russia for thanksgiving each year. Oh wait, it’s republican congress people in the photos I’m looking at.
You as well, have proven yourself too stupid to learn. Please don’t breed
Are you looking at the pics with Hillary and her Klan friends? You are probably one of them “woke” whities always trying to “protect” us brown people aren’t ya? But being a Karen when you see one of us walking down the sidewalk. I’ll never vote for racist democrats again.
That’s because, historically, it’s the Republican, oh wait, the Democratic congress people, along with their Hollywood friends, that were too busy visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s kid f*cker island to celebrate Thanksgiving in Russia. It’s Epstein’s private jet flight log I’m looking at.
All this “proof”, but Hal can’t ever manage to post any of it.
Dumbass loves to denigrate, but can’t back up his arrogant opinions.
bradin; I bet you just spoke with Hillary about the Russian spy thing? She’s got a knack for selling things, but someone named Durham is questioning her sales methods.
For you, I’d jump back in the time machine and point the dial to “reality.” What follow may shock you.
Imagine being stupid enough to download this app. Wowz
Imagine being stupid enough to vote for Biden. Wowz
Imagine being too stupid to come up with your own response 🤣
Yes, laugh at yourself the response was original thought perfectly countering the post above it. Another Leftist that does not pay attention or practice facts…
The intelligent user might want to read the fine print before downloading this app. What kind of tracking, adware, and other privacy erosions are included in it? We all know Apple doesn’t stop this stuff. Would anyone want this app if it scanned your photos? How do you know it doesn’t? It’s not like they will tell you anyway. It’s a propaganda tool people, and that means it’s going to use every trick in the book from Big Tech to profile you.
You’re trying to reason with the same people that though committing a terrorist insurrection at the capital on Jan 6, 2021 was a good thing to do. The same people that got duped into giving him reoccurring payments for his legal defense fund. They are gullible cucks who enjoy watching themselves get treated like garbage.
Trump himself has only posted one “Truth.” as of March 9.
Brilliant.
For a site supposedly dedicated to the Truth, it’s impossible to verify who is really posting. There are no verified accounts for any of the Trump children, only a few accounts claiming to represent them. Also no verified accounts for Alt Right bigwigs Beck, Carlson, Giuliani, Bannon.
The echo chamber sounds like a typical Trump business. Big splash, inability to swim a length of the pool.
“It’s a pain to keep up with all this shit”, said one GOP insider, “Right now it’s constantly having to remember to cut and paste posts onto all the [bleeping] platforms.”
There you go. For all you scrapbookers who love cut&paste, enjoy the latest shit show with a handful of polarizing airheads whose brazen lying got them booted from everywhere else.
