Completely Redefine the Game
President Trump will be “returning to social media in two or three months” with “his own platform” that will “completely redefine the game” and attract “tens of millions” of new users.

As far as “redefining the game” goes, I would say almost no chance.
But who gets gets to decide? And on what basis? Trump will of course say he redefined the game.
A Fan Prays
I pray it’s finally happening. 🙏🏻

Someone Delusional About Vast Majority
The vast majority of Americans want President Trump back.

Subscription Model?
Trump machine spends faster than it brings in $. It’s modern day televangelism, always ends with declining donations when the messiah doesn’t deliver, won’t go away, but will descend to “survival buckets” doomsday gear

may be proved wrong, but idea of Trump social media platform sounds as viable as Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Casino Atlantic City… how long can one discuss “Her emails” or “Voter Fraud”?

The above comment sums up my opinion too.
Trump’s Tweets had meaning as president. The media loved to rip them or discuss them.
Now? On a New Platform?
It’s not impossible. But it’s far more likely success will be in the eyes of the beholder.
What’s the Measure of Success?
Users? Ad revenue? Subscription income? Actual profit? Trump’s say so?
Those who love Trump will see this as a huge success no matter what it does. Those who hate Trump will find a way to criticize it.
Assuming it this new media even happens, let’s see how it does for users, engagement, ad revenue, income, and profit.
Mish
Trump derangement syndrome still more effective than COVID
Trump derangement syndrome still affecting all the simple minds, so funny.
The hosting is the issue. AWS won’t do it…and Trump doesn’t have that kind of money to make your own cloud alternative…but a truly open cloud alternative would be nice
I wonder who his investors are since Trump rarely invests his own money.
Going out on a limb to suggest republican backers.
Anything that tries to beat twitter will become twitter from a censorship perspective, there’s no such thing a free speech without heavy handed moderators. Good luck anyway breaking into the internet cartel.
Your copied tweet entitled – A Fan Prays – is Dean commenting on the FBI investigation into NY nursing home deaths, not a Trump media platform. Great work.
Trump is reminding me of Hillary in 2016. Wish he would accept defeat and go away.
His M.O. is to try bullying first, then cry when that doesn’t work, then sue.
A model of conservatism….
Or Jimmy Carter, or Bush, or Obama, or Biden.
Looks like this is going to end with a whimper.
Not Even Trump Fans Care About Trump’s Social Network
I am sure that Vice has the best insight into what Trump supporters are thinking..
Butt hurt, much?
You know, it’s time to move on from your failures….
Wow! Innuendos about my sexual preferences! Don’t you know that that is grounds for being cancelled or is that one of those “I can do it but you can’t” things?
So many tears about cancellation, and yet you aren’t cancelled. People are paying attention to you… rejoice!
You will have to ask Mish why I am not cancelled. Also you and I are here for the same reason namely we both get a kick out of it otherwise why spend the time?
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Trump has 74,000,000 hard core followers that will immidiatly fill that platform.
Social media is about numbers and good or bad, like it or not if and he launces it it will light up. link to youtu.be
Interesting….
In your world, a vote = “hard-core follower”
What country are you from?
Kind of like your moniker and most Trump voters, this is probably how Trump’s new platform will end up:

Rush Limbaugh has left a vacancy that trump could fill. he could have his own show on fox. Networks, on the other hand are likely out of his expertise. i’ll go with another utter failure
I love seeing Trump milk his sad sack white trash losers for cash. I hope they spend their last dollar on their messiah.
Might be difficult to do from Rikers Island.
Whatever you say or think about Trump, he was definitely more fun than woke sleepy Joe…..
You must love the incompetent drama. Do you still have wet dreams about Trump ?
In essence you are saying “We will see.” My view is that of Voltaire who said “I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It” when he learned in 1753 that a book that he thought was total bullshit had been banned by the French Parliament. Those who want to ban people because of their ideas are showing their lack of confidence in their own ideas and feel that the only way for their ideas to survive is to eliminate all others. It is a sign of weakness and explains their tendency to entertain totalitarian solutions to their problem of credibility.
When the idea is “replace democracy with a hereditary dictatorship of absolute morons, then kill all liberals” there’s some serious liability in promoting that. People with this idea get pitched out the same as people with the idea they should be able to wave around a pistol in a crowded bar. Sure, they PROBABLY won’t shoot anybody, but as a bar owner are you gonna take that chance.
You have the right to free speech. You don’t have the right to people’s attention.
You are mixing up free speech with a pistol in a bar. There is no tie between them. In the Old South before the Civil War we saw the same closing of the mind to uncomfortable dissenting opinions. They could not stand that some people said that slavery was evil so they shut down abolitionist papers and ran anyone against slavery out of the South using the same justification every time that free speech was dangerous. We have had free speech from the beginning and we are still here. Today is no different. Some people just use limiting free speech as an excuse to impose their will because they get kick out of it. They are just dopamine addicts.
You don’t seem to recognize that the internet isn’t a public place. It isn’t like standing on a public corner and holding a placard or protesting. The internet is mostly a private entity of platforms that owners control. You aren’t really this stupid.
To boot someone off your platform is fine but if you use your monopoly power to prevent that person from being heard from another platform then you are using your dominate position to restrict free speech. Lots of people like you use the “private company” argument to justify what they do. The Robber Barons of the 19th century after having established the oil and train monopolies said the same thing. Fortunately Teddy Roosevelt and others saw what they really were and voted legislation to break them up and reintroduce competition. The same will happen to to Twitter, Facebook and others. It’s just a matter of time. Of course since you are probably employed by them or have ties to them you would have to support their views in order to remain employed or in business.
You see that’s an interesting question! Is Twitter a private or public platform! I also suspect that left wing Trolls will have a field day crashing Trump’s new platform, exposing the user’s real name….
You seem to think that “free speech” means free and automatic access to any and every media outlet to promote your ideas.
Of course, Twitter can boot you out. Of course you can publish your own paper or make your own social media platform. The boundary between speech and incitement can then be legally tested. But don’t expect that you can ride freely on the shoulders of others in the promotion of your beliefs.
Another conservative, complaining on how poorly they are treated when they can’t get others to carry their water.
When has Trump last if ever organically built whole business from scratch. Trump is simply hoping, maybe praying a current outfit give him a cut and lets him attach his name to it. I doubt its happening. Trump also talked about starting a 3rd political party until he realized it was hard work
No way this is happening
It seems that with censorship emerging everywhere, and more and more people sensitive and unable to tolerate more and more things, that social medias will appear for each political, sexual, racial tendency, that will permit only people of their side. And in the end, no place for confrontation of ideas.
i can envision massive and multiple lawsuits against trump for almost all of his statements in the future
It’ll get hacked faster than you can say China
I look forward to him getting indicted soon. Cyrus Vance is going to flip everyone around Trump and there is little he can do about it. Trump is going to be out of options sooner than he can get any venture off the ground.
have you been waiting since 2016?
No. I voted for Trump in 2016. Becoming President is turning out not only the worst thing to happen to the country but also to him. Do you think this is still 2016 ?
Chucking people who risked everything for you under the bus has a way of losing you friends.
You can be damn sure Trump won’t be putting in any of his own money. The losers and idiots will be the ones who loan him the money. Meanwhile Donnie will pocket millions.
When ‘entertainers’ can pocket millions with a stupid song or a silly dance why shouldn t Trump have the right to set up a similar racket talking nonsense ?
He does, andd idiots have the right to let him fleece them. The problem is, the idiots want to force everyone else to be fleeced too.
Great. Because that means shortly after demand will be there for a client cross service aggregator and that blows the whole monopoly provider up(with the attendant ability to censure).
Assuming the US isn’t so split politically that people go tribal of course..
There is no monopoly. People are just too lazy and incompetent to stand up their own servers.
This is so exciting.
An incoherent, inarticulate, incompetent, incontinent, morbidly obese, narcissistic psychopath with his own platform.
I laughed, I cried, I conceded to truth when I saw it.
Thanks for voting in the guy who will make Jimmy Carter look like a WINNER
Says the person who thinks driving a stick shift and being able to change a flat are the epitome of intelligence.
The thrill of posting on social media is the kick that one gets from safely insulting/burning your ideologic opponent through the release of electrons. How many times does one thrill at the act of saying, “yup, that’s so true…”? Social media without the antagonism is a bore.
Only the truly hardcore egomaniacs and delusionals will fund a SMP.
Think of poor Mike Lindell with his own new SMP.
He’s not going to attract the best and brightest to build it.
There’s probably some solid alt right software engineers out there but I bet they’re outbrained and outnumbered by the smarter hackers that will descend upon the platform immediately.
Out of the 100 or so I’ve worked with, I have only met two trumplings. Quite a few libertarians, and the rest just kind of middle of the road and shocked at the stupidity inherent in our political system, embarrassed to even discuss it.
One of the trumplings was a fairly good developer, and the other was exactly what you’d expect: Obese, incompetent, and spending most of his time blaming others for his mistakes.
Intelligence and trump humping are a rare combo.
You’re lucky. I’ve worked primarily in the South and some of the smaller dev shops are technically competent but might as well be religious conservative cults. Dave Ramsey Solutions comes to mind.
that reply gave me PTSD. now I’m remembering a boss that would take us all to lunch but make us pray with him before we could eat. it’s already weird to see a family praying at a restaurant in public but even weirder to see 10-15 nerds doing it.
I pray that you never have to do that, ever again.
We pray at restaurants before meals all the time. It’s not uncommon among practicing Catholics.
The smart hackers , who can’t drive a 5 speed, change a flat, are lost with out apps ?
Don’t you just love commentators starting posts with, “may be proved wrong”, or “it’s not impossible”? You see, these are the same people who laughed at the possibility of Donald Trump being elected President. Now, they’ve learned their lessons. Decided they better be a little careful when ridiculing the idea.
Man, you sure know how to place a burn…
Another day another Trump conspiracy carny barker.
This isnt 2016. Trump is being investigated for tax fraud for the first time in his life.
Trump could have probably attracted enough people to Parler to make it a viable competitor to Twitter. Competition is a always a good thing (except when it happens to me – jk). Certainly we do need viable competitors to Google, Facebook, and Twitter. I fear for the freedom of speech if we don’t have them.
Trump starting up something new? Hmm, idk it will ever get off the ground.
I admit I don’t know much, but Twitter is international, right? Isn’t Parler pretty much a hang-out for American crazies? What would constitute a “viable competitor”?
By “viable”, I mean one that has enough users to be self-sustaining.
