https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-cant-stop-whining-about-his-failing-social-media-app-truth-social?ref=scrollAs Donald Trump weighs another run for the White House, the twice-impeached former president has made a point of embarking on new business opportunities to increase his wealth and maintain his personal brand. But unfortunately for Trump, one of his most heavily promoted venturesTruth Socialis currently looking less like a success and more like an embarrassing dud.
Even for a soft launch, Truth Socials launch has been particularly soft. And after a botched rollout where most prospective users were simply added to a wait list, Trump has been grumbling about the app behind the scenes, according to two sources familiar with the matter, even as hes tried to put on a brave face publicly.
In recent weeks, sources have heard the former president on the phone swearing gratuitously and asking things like, What the fuck is going on with Truth Social.
Hes repeatedly groused about the negative press and the less-than-stellar optics of the rollout, these sources said. And hes demanded to know why more people arent using itwhy the app isnt swiftly dominating the competition.
During his presidency and in the years prior to his political rise, Trump had a famous reputation for berating underlings for failures that were mostly his own fault. Throughout all those years, his short attention span was a constant; he tends to quickly lose interest in novel business ideas, partnerships, and money-making gimmicks that oftentimes rapidly go nowhereif not worse.

I mean with Devin Nunes in charge, how could it possibly fail?
I saw someone say it looked like Twitter, but with no people.
