‘It’s a Blog’: Trump Mercilessly Mocked for His New ‘Dollar Store Twitter’ Platform

Donald Trump, the former president, on Tuesday launched what Fox News called a new “platform,” but in reality, as many are saying, is just a blog. It even sounds like what blogs were called in the early days of the medium: From the Desk of Donald J. Trump.

The site is part of his main site, which is now designed as a money-making/fundraising enterprise. It allows one-way communication, with Trump posting words, images, or video, and then supporters can tweet them or post them to Facebook. The “like” button does not currently work.

Many on  social media mocked the former president.

It’s like his own personal twitter with absolutely NO way of responding. Essentially, EVERYONE is blocked.

Reading that Trump is essentially starting a blog, I wonder if he will read @markos book “Crashing the Gates” in preparation for the vital 2006 midterms …..

45’s new Dollar Store Twitter looks like it will be more relentless petty attacks on Republicans. https://t.co/CU8wefekHn

Trump’s new “blog” is all about the money. It even has the recurring donation box conveniently checked for you already. pic.twitter.com/nZGNNhMTAK

Is this the former President’s much heralded social network? Cause it seems like a blog to me. https://t.co/PtKLUILPOI

I’d just like to remind everyone that you probably don’t need to share Trump’s little blog posts like 99 percent of the time

It’s basically a blog:

“The space will allow Trump to post comments, images, and videos” https://t.co/h4LfPVHczq

wait, so he already had a website and it took him ALL THIS TIME to put a fucking blog on it????https://t.co/hswHbl59DM

So basically Trump’s starting a blog hosted on Parscale’s CRM platform. Useful for fundraising, but fundamentally not very interesting. https://t.co/VwrJZpeg6G

lol… Trump’s new “platform” was coded by a 10-year-old. I see several vulnerabilities that will be exploited by someone before the end of the night. pic.twitter.com/IdnGCfzCc3

So like a blog? Trump is a blogger now https://t.co/yWx8hTC3AC

Is anyone surprised that trumps new ‘communications platform’ is actually just a blog? I’m guessing he spent millions on what amounts to a WordPress page.

Trump launching “Twitter but only for me” is so fucking funny, fuck.

— Cody Johnston (@drmistercody) May 4, 2021

So Trump has launched a “new social platform”. Looks to me like a campaign web-page. Collects info and $.
Anyone surprised?
