    Serious question, because I refuse to even subject my eyeballs to that dime-store-knockoff: Is anyone besides Trump himself actually posting on there?

    All I ever see is his own drivel. I’ve posted youtube videos with more likes. I’ve never seen anyone not named Trump even post there.

    How is a site that exclusively caters to the stream of consciousness of exactly one person supposed to make money? Especially when that stream of consciousness is going to be covered by every major network anyway? Even if you’re a die-hard MAGA supporter, there’s literally no reason to go onto the site. Just watch Newsmax. They’ll cover it anyway.

    It baffles me that he even got funding for this. I don’t care what people think of his politics; there was never a scenario where this business model was ever going to work.

      I’ve never been on there, but I am inclined to think that there is at least a small group of die hards that post there. I have seen quotes from other posters on there on various news articles. Interestingly, Joe Biden (or at least his campaign staffers) now have a presence on there which I find hysterical. I think that’s basically tantamount to trying to convert the Pope to pastafarianism but maybe a few people over there haven’t had their brains fall out completely (not that Biden is the ideal president but he’s far better than Trump).
