Former President Donald Trump may have been permanently suspended from major social media platforms that exist today, but there have been hints that suggest the former president’s plans to make his own platform. Trump is reportedly now having discussions with other developers for his up-and-coming social media platform.
According to people familiar with the matter via Axios, Trump has been having discussions with no-name app developers as the former president considers building his own social media platform. The former president is reportedly zeroing in on the relatively new platform called FreeSpace with his digital adviser Dan Scavino. As to how the partnership would work remains to be seen, as Trump is known for his preference to avoid putting his own money into his business ventures, preferring that others fund the ventures for him.
Trump’s focus on FreeSpace also appears to be a surprise due to the platform’s emphasis on positivity. The platform’s focus on positivity also happens to be a stark contrast to Trump, who is known for attacking his critics and posting incendiary comments on social media. Trump was permanently suspended from major social media platforms following the January 6 riots at the Capitol. The platform also touts itself as being science-based in reinforcing good habits and world peace.
Despite the discussions, nothing has been settled yet. The former president has yet to make a decision about the social media platform. A source told the outlet that it is possible Trump may choose other platforms following his meetings this week.
Trump is also focused on the 2022 midterm elections, backing candidates who have proven “loyalty” to the former president and challengers to Republicans whom he has felt has wronged him. The candidates Trump is looking to back are known to be former administration officials.
This would include former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and some other lesser-known former officials like Max Miller in Ohio, Brian Harrison in Texas, and Catalina Lauf in Illinois. Trump recently endorsed Congressman Jody Hice in challenging Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for the position.
“It’s more about trying to push out those who he feels weren’t nice to him,” said former Republican National Committee spokesman Doug Heye.
