As America celebrated Presidents Day on Monday to honour the legacy of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump, arguably Americas most controversial president, launched his social media app Truth Social.

Truth Socialfaced several glitches as soon as it was launched on Apples iOs. Users were either unable to register their accounts or they encountered error messages. However,TechCrunchreported, Truth Social became the highest-ranking free app on Apples App Store despite all the pitfalls.

Many Trump critics took the apps rocky start as an opportunity to diss him with #TruthSocial raking in thousands of tweets within hours of the launch.

Amongst mean tweets and jokes, many Republicans and Trump supporters also pledged their support to the app.

TRAILAR, a UK based solar-powered transportation company, highlighted that Truth Socials logo is almost identical to their companys logo design. The companys head of marketing toldThe Daily Beastthat they might pursue legal action against Trumps social media network.

The app, developed by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), is being seen as an alternative social media for people who feel that their views are censored on mainstream platforms, especially after the former US presidents account was removed by Twitter and Facebook post the capitol attack of 2021.

Even before its official launch, Truth Social faced many issues from trolls. According toThe Guardianin October 2021, a link to the unreleased beta version of Truth Social was shared on social media. This enabled people to register on Truth Social and make parody accounts of Trump and his supporters. One such parody account of Truth Social has been active on Twitter since October last year.
