The main attraction of the newsocial network Truthhas started posting. This isDonald Trump, the former president of the United States, owner and developer of the platform he created after he was banned from Twitter on January 8, 2021.
The businessman and politician uploadedhis first postlast Friday with the phrase:"I'M BACK! #COVFEFE". In the picture, he can be seen checking his phone in the garden of a mansion. Although Truth Social, the social network developed byThe Trump Media & Technology Group, was launched on February 21, Trump had practically not used it (except for a post he made on launch day announcing that he would soon start using the network; said post was shared on Twitter by Donald Trump Jr.).
Friday's message refers to one of Trump's stellar moments on Twitter, when he used the term in a post with a mistake (covfefe) that caused confusion, sensation and later went viral. Since then, the former president has uploaded several messages, including one in which he thanks people for their support in keeping the social network as the most downloaded app on the AppStore.
