Trump ready to drop Truth
Former President Donald Trump is preparing to leave the exclusive relationship with his own socialmedia platform Truth Social as part of an eventual return to mainstream sites like Twitter and Facebook, according to a report.
Trump (right), who is gearing up to campaign for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, has been telling confidantes he is eagerly anticipating the expiration of a “social media exclusivity term” with Truth Social, the app founded by his company Trump Media & Technology Group.
The exclusivity term requires Trump to “first channel any and all social media communications” to his Truth Social account six hours before posting the same content to other platforms, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The exclusivity deal exempts posts of which the content “specifically relates to political messaging, political fundraising or get-out-the-vote efforts.”
But Trump has been telling those close to him for months that he has no appetite to renew the exclusivity clause once it expires in June.
As per the terms of the contract, Trump must give notice in order to avoid an automatic renewal of the clause for a period of six months.
