Do you think he ever just wears jeans and a T-shirt like most American men?
I haven't worn a t-shirt in about 10 years.
I wear a T-Shirt every day… Under my dress shirt and tie because I’m a winner, that’s what winners wear, and I intend to win more…

What do you call winning by selling t-shirts? Because that's what I'm doing.

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.

Nah, I reckon most reasonable people assume that Truth Social doesn’t really mean it when it says it is a ‘"Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.’

Actually, I'd kind of hoped they'd allow free discussion. I figured it wouldn't work, since it would devolve into a cesspit, but I actually thought they would try and be better than Twitter.
Stupid optimism, I know.
I look forward with great anticipation to hear right-minded conservatives everywhere condemn this attack on the very cornerstone of American values, and demand that legislation is put in place to stop this type of egregious assault on liberty from occurring.

Truth social had never been on my radar, but if it was a big enough deal and allegedly non-partisan, then I'd have an issue with partisan moderating, sure.

When I spoke of 'right-minded conservatives', I wasn't really thinking of you
TBH, I was a little surprised they'd ban anybody. It's not like they've got a surfeit of users.

Truth Social faces financial peril as worry about Trump’s future grows
Former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social website is facing financial challenges as its traffic remains puny and the company that is scheduled to acquire it expresses fear that his legal troubles could lead to a decline in his popularity.
Six months after its high-profile launch, the site — a clone of Twitter, which banned Trump after Jan. 6, 2021 — still has no guaranteed source of revenue and a questionable path to growth, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings from Digital World Acquisition, the company planning to take Trump’s start-up, the Trump Media & Technology Group, public.
The company warned this week that its business could be damaged if Trump “becomes less popular or there are further controversies that damage his credibility.” The company has seen its stock price plunge nearly 75 percent since its March peak and reported in a filing last week that it had lost $6.5 million in the first half of the year.
There are signs that the company’s financial base has begun to erode. The Trump company stopped paying RightForge, a conservative web-hosting service, in March and now owes it more than $1 million, according to Fox Business, which first reported the dispute.
The company also has struggled with some basics of corporate operation. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this month denied its application to trademark “Truth Social,” citing the “likelihood of confusion” to other similarly named companies, including an app, “VERO — True Social,” first released in 2015.
Representatives from Trump’s company and Digital World did not respond to requests for comment.
