Donald Trump, former president of the United States of America (USA), has launched Truth Social, a social media platform.
The platform was launched on Apple’s app store on Monday, February 21, the same day the country marks Presidents’ Day, an annual holiday held to celebrate the birth of George Washington, a former US president.
On February 15, Trump Jr., the immediate past president’s son, shared a screenshot of his father’s first post on Truth Social. The post read, “Get ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”
