Trump and Truth Social Should Just Break Up Already
Since late last year, former President Trump has informed several people close to him that he doesn’t want to re-up the exclusivity agreement with his social media company, Truth Social, two sources familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. “There’s not going to be a need for that,” is how one of the sources recalls Trump describing his soon-to-expire contractual obligation.
Asked whether Trump planned to continue to make Truth Social his exclusive social media home, a company representative directed Rolling Stone to a recent appearance by TMTG CEO Devin Nunes on Newsmax where the former California congressman said Trump “has no interest in going back to Twitter.”
Others, of course, disagree. One person close to Trump who has spoken to the ex-president recently about Twitter tells Rolling Stone on Sunday: “There is no way [Nunes’ statement] is true.”
As Adele once said, “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.” I’m pretty sure she was talking about romantic love, not the love between a megalomaniac politician and his social-media vanity project. But the line applies to both kinds of relationships, and it might be better if Trump used it now rather than stringing Truth along.
