Nine months after being expelled from social media for his role in inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, former President Donald Trump said Wednesday he's launching a new media company with its own social media platform.

Trump says his goal in launching the Trump Media & Technology Group and its "TRUTH Social" app is to create a rival to the Big Tech companies that have shut him out and denied him the megaphone that was paramount to his national rise.

"We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced," he said in a statement. "This is unacceptable." In a release, the new venture announced it had been created through a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. and said it seeks to become a publicly listed company.

Trump has spoken about launching his own social media site ever since he was barred from Twitter and Facebook. An earlier effort to launch a blog on his existing website was abandoned after the page drew dismal views. In addition to the app, which is expected to soft-launch next month, with a nationwide rollout early next year, the company says it is planning a video-on-demand service that will feature entertainment programming, news and podcasts.In this Saturday, July 24, 2021 file photo, former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to supporters at a Turning Point Action gathering in Phoenix.

Well there goes a couple billion dollars ! 1.7B ! Does Big Tech know about this ? They claim that their app is on Apple App Store !! By the name of TRUTH Social for Pre-Order now !! Sorry just looked - Not There ! Hehe !! Hear’s the manifesto !! - - -

About time!

Not a Trump fan at all, but probably going to have tremendous success as libertarians and conservatives abandon existing platforms. Looking forward to, potentially, social media platforms without a filtered discourse and blatant censorship!

Why are you giving this man any coverage at all.

Building a safe space for his cult.

Just wait for the first hack and all the members getting their personal information stolen.

Lol. Good luck with that.

To shut it down after a couple of months 😆

Finally the right will have a voice. There goes the lefty ratings.
