On Presidents’ Day, to honour the legacy of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump, the country’s most contentious leader, launched his social media programme, Truth Social.
When it was launched on Apple’s iOS platform, Truth Social experienced a number of issues. When attempting to register their accounts, users were either unable to do so or received “error” alerts. Many Trump critics mocked the app’s weak start, with #TruthSocial receiving hundreds of tweets just hours after it launched.

Even before it was officially launched, Truth Social was plagued by trolls.

Truth Social’s logo is nearly identical to that of TRAILER, a solar-powered mobility company based in the United Kingdom.
