What is Truth Social, Donald Trump's social media platform?

Former President Donald Trump launched his social media platform, Truth Social, in early 2022, after he was banned from major sites such as Facebook and the former Twitter following the Jan. 6 insurrection. While he’s since been reinstated to both, he’s largely stayed off X, the Elon Musk-owned platform that was once his primary megaphone. That’s unlikely to change even as Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs Truth Social, is expected to start trading on the NASDAQ stock market soon. That's even though Trump reaches fewer people on his platform, where he has less than 7 million followers compared with 91 million on X.
