tRump is furious about the underwhelming launch of his new social media app Truth Social, The Daily Beast reported, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
Sources told the outlet Trump had been heard on the phone "swearing gratuitously" and asking "what the fuck is going on" with the app.
The former president's long-hyped app came out on February 20, but technical difficulties plagued its launch.
Many people who downloaded the app say they could not create accounts or were placed on waitlists. An analysis of the app's traffic suggests that Truth Social is doing worse or the same as its MAGA app competitors like Gab and Gettr, The Daily Beast said.

Only the good die young, I suppose.
Even so, I love hearing about things that make him flip his wig.

Dude, you couldn't even run a CASINO IN ATLANTIC CITY in the 90's. Your Steak company, water company, airline, football team/league, "university", and many other "businesses" flopped hard. Who the hell are you to even complain about another of your businesses failing.
That is just par for the course. Yes I used a golf analogy knowing that the bastard also cheats at golf.

(115,683 posts)He can't hire "all the best people" because the best people don't want anything to do with him - they care about their reputations, not to mention that they'd like to get paid. So he hires grifters and morons like himself, and they either put together a cheap rip-off of something better, or they just haven't a clue what they're doing and fuck it all up. This project sounds exactly like every other dumb, cheap-ass Trump venture.
