Trump-linked Digital World's shares surge after Truth Social Goes Live

Trump's Truth Social

Stocks of Digital World Acquisition (DWAC), the blank-check company merging with TMTG (Trump Media & Technology Group), surged 10% Tuesday as Truth Social, the former President’s Donald Trump's social media platform, has gone live.

DWAC shares jumped 26% to $106.44 and were on track to open at levels last seen in October, days after DWAC announced a deal to publicly list TMTG, the venture behind Truth Social. Other stocks linked to Trump also advanced. Phunware, hired by Donald Trump's 2020 Presidential re-election campaign to build a phone app, climbed 17.9%.

On Sunday it was launched and Truth Social was the top free available app on Apple's app store.

Trump was barred by Youtube, Facebook (Meta Platforms) and his then-favorite Twitter for his alleged role in January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Since then, he has been exploring ways to restore his once-sizable social media presence. The Official Twitter account of Trump War Room is still active on Twitter, and all Trump's Updates were provided by Dan Scavino from time to time. Right now Donald Trump is active on Rumble, all his MAGA and Save America Rally are covered on this platform. In the case of CF Acquisition Corp VI, there have been reports of the video platform merging with Rumble.

According to media reports, due to massive responses from the Trump Supporters, some people reported being unable to create an account or received error messages when trying to do so. Others were prompted to join a waitlist.

Users are getting messages like this "Due to massive demand, we have placed you on our waitlist. We love you, and you're not just a number to us. But your waitlist number is below," a message greeted users after they created an account.

Truth Social, which counts former President Donald J. Trump as its chairman and former Rep. Devin Nunes as CEO of Truth Social, soared to the No. 1 downloaded app on Apple's app store as of Tuesday morning. But that strong demand led to reports of countless error messages and more than 600,000 interested users being wait-listed.

Truth Social was originally scheduled for a launch sometime in February on President Day 2022, but expectations were pushed back after CEO Devin Nunes said the app would be fully operational by the end of March. Monday's release of the app was no doubt a pleasant surprise to Digital World investors. Shares of DWAC soared as much 62% to $137 on Tuesday.

Truth Social will represent the voice of America's conservative base who were continuously censored by Big Tech companies. Truth Social also planning to merge with Rumble, a Canadian video-sharing platform with a conservative bent, surged earlier this month after it attempted to poach the podcast host Joe Rogan away from Spotify with a $100 million offer.

Trump-linked SPAC soars on Truth Social downloads. Shares of DWAC, the blank-check company behind former U.S. President Donald Trump's new social media venture, Truth Social, rose about 14% as the app topped downloads on Apple's App Store.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed President Biden's State of the Union address and defended calling him a "liar." Last night, President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address to the nation. While many tuned in to hear the President's plans for the future, some were left frustrated by his speaking style. According to some reports, Biden was difficult to understand at times due to his tendency to yell and mumble through applause. One major topic discussed by the President was the ongoing issue of fentanyl deaths, which have become the number one cause of death for young people between the ages of 18 and 45. However, President Biden faced criticism for not having the plan to secure the border and for wanting the border open. In addition to the border crisis, President Biden also talked about the fast food industry and the non-compete fees faced by compan...

Cruz said 'The White House's Talking Points Are Written By An 18-Year-Old Intern'. Addressing the media with GOP leaders, Cruz said: President Biden and the white house's talking points on energy are both inane and contradictory. The Biden white house maintains that decreasing supply does not impact price if you look at How Joe Biden started his presidency? He started it with a war on u.s oil and gas. You know President Biden tried to say this week the increase in gas prices is due to Putin. I understand the Russians are the favorite talking point for democrats. We spent four years under Donald Trump hearing, democrats say Russia Russia Russia. And now the Biden White House wants to say all of the disasters of inflation that's Russia's fault too. The one problem is the facts on day one asPpresident Joe Biden can...

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

Photo "Donald Trump" by Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
