I agree, they do. The problem is, no competent lawyers want to represent him.

Isn't it really new? How can anyone tell much of anything at this point?

Facebook launched in Sept 2006, and it only had 100,000 pages a year later. Facebook was not politically focused, it was open for everyone, back then.

Truth social is not a wide open platform, it's fairly narrow in political focus. So how can people make any judgements on it six months after it went public?

Trump not paying his bills stiffing contractors I'm shocked.

Has Trump or a Trump enterprise EVER not stiffed its vendors? Seems to be how they operate.

Posters more knowledgeable than me, please explain further.

It is my understanding that Mr. Trump created Truth Social not solely because he was mad at being banned from Twitter, but because it could create a huge payday if (here I am unsure), some other company then loaned money? It has something to do with a "special purpose acquisition company".

From my understanding, all is a failure, but perhaps someone can explain.

I just can’t believe that with Trump’s history of stiffing people who provide services to him and his companies that ANY company would trust him to pay his bills w/o money in an escrow fund to draw against…

I worked post construction cleanup on new homes. If workers didn't get paid, word would spread and the builder, he'd be out of workers, from any crew he went too, cause they all talked to one another. When Hurricane Katrina hit I was going to put together a crew (in Dallas) and go help cleanup. I called a guy who went before me and he told me, don't bother, because they were having a hard time getting their money out of FEMA.

Point being if it is a true statement that Trump or a Trump enterprise stiffs workers; people like to get paid, they'll never work for the person or organization. And yet, he just keeps cutting new deals for new projects. I find that odd, he'd do that if he can't find anyone to work for him.

Is Truth Social dying?
I think it is. The forum wasn't ever ready to go full on when it dropped, and it's had problems ever since.
Trump won't ever cough up the cash to pay the net host what is owed.

Not so fast. There's more to the story.

Business Insider; RNC Not Paying Trump Mar a Lago Investigation Legal Fees.
Don't like that one?

abcnews: RNC warning to Trump" If you run for president, we stop paying your legal bills, official says. "

True. The RNC has given Trump nearly $2million dollars for his legal fees, but they do not want him announcing his presidential run until after the mid terms. You'll notice some of these MAGA 's running have scrubbed their websites of anything Trump. Rumor has it that the RNC will not pay his legal fees for his last criminal enterprise at Mar a Lago.

Maybe the RNC is finally tired of footing the bill for their high maintenance con man, I'm the only one that can fix this messiah?
