    I don't know I haven't used the platform yet.

    That's why I ignore your speculation on it.

    then why defend it, we already know it will be Trump creating it, so it will suck and be all about worshiping Trump

    trumps number one rule

    accuse others of doing exactly what he is doing ..

    facebook and twitter banned him and trump calls it censorship

    trumps websight will ban people and claim it is not censorship

    trumps new venture has 2 chances of being successful

    1. slim
    2. none

    I've never heard you speak out about this site you're on now... Why is that?

    We welcome constructive criticism or complaints, but the public forums are not an appropriate venue for criticizing the staff, administration, or ownership of the site.

    Is the website still up? Did it make it 24 hours?

    Funny that a site called Truth doesn't allow anybody to make fun of the site itself... Strike anybody else as a little hypocritical??

    Well, I guess if you actually read the post I was responding to, you would have know that. Maybe you should go back and read it.

    Anything to do with Trump tends to attract the orange man bad crowd like moths to a flame.

    It's amazing you can be talking about something that has nothing to do with Donald Trump and someone will interject some post about how much they don't like Donald Trump.

    I call it... THE TRIGGERING! dun nun NAAAAAAA!

    Well for starters, the rules of the forum laid out by the site's creators isn't that its users can't post inaccurate information or "fake news", but that they can't give them any criticism. The other thing is the fact that the site's lead creator is a US president, there's nothing else to compare it to really. There's never been a president who started a platform and laid down rules for that platform that you can't criticize them. Presidents don't need a safe space, they should be criticized. If they want to create a platform for political expression, but also make it a safe space for themselves and their agenda, they have every right to do so in their own private setting. Though for a president to do that it rather weak and cowardly, and also pretty laughable to advertise it as a "free speech network that is standing up to the tyranny of big tech"

    They ought to just call it a safe space for the president and his supporters

    none of the staff is running for President, if they did, and banned people that criticized them, you bet I would speak out about it

    on this forum

    for every "trump bashing" statement there is also a "biden bashing" statement

    trump will only allow for Biden bashing on his websight and has every right to do so

    he who buys the dinner chooses the restaurant

    Rather ironic. Like a scientologist telling me I'm in a cult.
