Former President Trump Announces New Social Media Platform on September 11
Adding a new twist to American politics on September 11, 2021, former president Donald Trump announced that he is launching a new, groundbreaking social media platform to communicate directly with his followers.
In a statement delivered from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump outlined his plans for the platform. “This social network will revolutionize the way we interact, ushering in a new era of greater freedom, authenticity, and truth,” Trump said.
The announcement of the platform was exceedingly controversial, triggering heated debates among both his supporters and critics. However, Trump expressed confidence in the success and global impact of his venture.
Trump’s Claims Stir Controversy and Doubt
However, what raised eyebrows was Trump’s claim that the development of this network had been in the works for the last 20 years. “We have been planning this revolutionary platform since I was a businessman, long before I was even considering running for presidency.” he said. This raised questions since social media platforms as we know them today did not exist 20 years ago, leading many experts to doubt the credibility of his statement.
Given that Twitter and Facebook only started gaining traction in 2006 and 2004 respectively, it seems highly unlikely that Trump could have been planning a social media platform of this magnitude since the late 1990s. This revelation has landed the former president in hot water, with allegations of spurious claims circulating across all media outlets.
White House Remains Silent
When asked to comment, the current White House administration and press secretary Jen Psaki decided to hold their peace, choosing not to get entangled in the claims made by the former president.
