Do it! “Former President Donald Trump has told friends he has hundreds of millions of dollars in backing for a new social media venture that would give him an online presence and protect conservatives from being shut down online.”
Social Media is the only effective way President Trump can respond to attacks from the Left. President Trump must have the ability to communicate with his supporters, if he is to have any chance at winning in 2024.
Trump courts billionaire backers as he plans conservative-friendly social media platform
By Washington Examiner, February 19, 2021
Story continues below advertisementFormer President Donald Trump has told friends he has hundreds of millions of dollars in backing for a new social media venture that would give him an online presence and protect conservatives from being shut down online.
Two sources familiar with discussions said investors included Silicon Valley figures motivated by fears of censorship and online “cancel culture.”
Details emerged as Trump began a new phase of his post-presidency, giving television interviews from his Florida base in the week after his Senate impeachment acquittal.
On Wednesday, he boasted about the millions of people who followed him on his now-shuttered Twitter and Facebook accounts and confirmed that he had considered buying a social media company.
“We’re negotiating with a number of people,” he told Newsmax TV. “There is also the option of building your own site because we have more people than anybody, so you can literally build your own site. But we were being really harassed on Twitter. They were putting up all sorts of flags, I guess they call them, they were flagging almost anything you said.”
Trump was banned from several social media platforms in the aftermath of the attack on the Capitol by some of his supporters. Twitter, of which Trump was a prolific user, said the president’s tweets posed the risk of further violence.

At the time, Trump said: “We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.”
Since leaving office, he has split his time between his home at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach and his nearby golf course while gradually building a new political operation.
Visitors have included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as well as his second-in-command, Rep. Steve Scalise, according to reports. His new website and email mailing list were put together by Nucleus, a digital campaign firm run by Brad Parscale, who was Trump’s 2020 campaign manager until he was replaced in July last year.
Two sources familiar with discussions said Trump had also met with potential investors in a new online venture designed to allow the former president to engage with his supporters and protect them from being taken offline.
Trump’s team is using the free speech argument to attract libertarian donors, said one Republican.
“They aren’t the people you might expect,” he said.
With impeachment out of the way on Saturday, this week triggered a new phase in Trump’s life after the White House. On Tuesday, he launched a blistering attack on his one-time loyal Senate lieutenant Sen. Mitch McConnell, calling him a “political hack” and threatening to back rival primary candidates.
A day later, he dialed into three television interviews to pay tribute to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who died on Wednesday, as well as to reheat his unfounded claims that the election was stolen from him.

The banks will punish his backers in any way they can.
How is the platform going to pay its bills over time? Most other sites use google ads and such. Google, paypal, others will likely shut him out. Will the day-day upkeep have to be paid for by the members of the platform?
I hope he can make it work but it’s going to be difficult.

IF Trump is as wise as I believe he is, HE WILL KEEP HIS FRIENDS ANONYMOUS. The moment the IRS or anyone else DEMANDS TRUMP GIVES THEM A LIST OF HIS DONORS, HE SHOULD GO TO COURT.
People who lead by FEAR are known as TYRANTS. WE ALL KNOW WHO THEY ARE, DON’T WE? Mainly liberals, Democrats and no-principles RINOS.

LESS WHITE? Wow. I guess this cancel culture is going to have to DYE ME LESS WHITE because I am soooooooo white, I have to take 3000 units of Vitamin D because my skin has less white pigment than normal white folks.
IT WAS THE WAY I WAS BORN AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT.
So, what are they going to do then, have DYE FARMS FOR WHITE PEOPLE?
INSANITY MEANS DOING SOMETHING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS, so I will just say it. THESE PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY INSANE. EITHER IGNORE THEM OR SUE THEM. YOUR CHOICE AMERICA!!!!!

But, I digress. YOU REALLY ARE A LIBERAL, AREN’T YOU? I AM SOOOOOOOOO GLAD I AM NOT YOU. I used to be. I was a lifelong Democrat until GOD got ahold of me and told me THINK BIBLE, not political Party. THINK CONSTITUTION, not political Party. THINK TRUTH not OPINION. THEN, MY EYES WERE OPENED THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

YES, Trump was an outsider that missed who those people were. He went into the Oval Office to do a JOB FOR THE PEOPLE, so you can blame HIM all you want INSTEAD OF BLAMING THE INFILTRATORS that used and abused their power against Trump, but all in all, TRUMP IS AND WAS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT AMERICA HAS EVER HAD BECAUSE OF WHAT HE GOT DONE THAT WAS CONSTITUTIONAL, LEGAL, AND **FOR** AMERICA(NS).
NO DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS CAN LAY CLAIM TO THAT BECAUSE THEY SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME HATING TRUMP INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE. What a bunch of dumb moronic people. Can you imagine what America could have done with all that money the Dems spent on impeaching Trump TWICE, FOR OTHER THINGS THAT ACTUALLY BENEFIT AMERICANS?
It stuns me every day that I see a liberal politician tell us all they are going to do to HURT ONE MAN.
INSANITY: doing the SAME THING OVER AND OVER again, expecting a different result.
THAT ALONE MAKES DEMOCRATS LOOKS VERY STUPID…………oh wait, they proved it!
If you can’t agree to that, then you have blinders on or you are LYING TO YOURSELF and the more you lie to yourself, the more GOD will move away from you under your own FREE WILL HE GAVE US ALL. So, be very careful what you say and do………………GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED. These Dems who hate Trump DO NOT HAVE GOD, A RIGHTEOUS GOD, ON THEIR SIDES no matter what they try to make people believe. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND SO SHOULD YOU!
When you back/support EVIL PEOPLE, the devil lures/draws you in BECAUSE of that hatred you are holding on to. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

IT IS NOT DONALD TRUMP, THE MAN WE LOVE SO MUCH. IT IS WHAT HE DOES **FOR** AMERICA(NS) AND THAT MAKES HIM A TRUE PATRIOT. His personal life is his own and none of my business.
JEALOUS MUCH THAT YOU CANNOT UPHOLD THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND TRUTH? Trump does that and more and none of us who support him CARE A BIT ABOUT HIS MOUTH, HIS EX-WIVES, HIS PAST MISTAKES, OR ANYTHING ELSE. WE VOTED FOR HIM FOR THE PROMISES HE MADE AND HE KEPT THEM, DUFUS.
THIS SITE LISTS THEM ALL, DUFUS.

CONSERVATIVES FORCE NO ONE TO DO WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO.
And just so you know:
A LEADER WHO RULES BY FEAR IS A ‘TYRANT’ AND THERE ARE TONS OF THEM IN CONGRESS, AKA THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, joe biden, Camel Harris, and most liberals who are USEFUL IDIOTS. YOU MUST BE ONE OF THEM.
A LEADER WHO RULES WITH THE U.S. CONSTITUTION/BILL OF RIGHTS IN ONE HAND, AND A SMILE ON THEIR FACE IS A PATRIOT.

This is naive. Trump is up against an entire system at this point — they will use every tool of political, media, legal, technological and financial warfare to shut him down. The system itself is the enemy, and it won’t be defeated by 75 year-olds from old paradigms, but by younger people creating new systems that support DECENTRALIZATION and FREEDOM. What bitcoin is going to do to the financial system — kill the bankers and fiat currencies — needs to be done to the entire system: DECENTRALIZE and REMOVE THE GATEKEEPERS. They are the problem, but they will fight tooth and nail to maintain their power. Younger crypto-anarchists and libertarians understand this, and they will be the ones who defeat them and restore liberty, not giant corporations and 75 year olds stuck in the 20th century. Start thinking outside the box of our current system, because this box has become a giant prison!

I find it telling that he says ‘it’s not people you would expect’ who are interested. That tells me that many people who wish to remain anonymous (at least up to a point) are seriously concerned about this current ‘cancel culture’. Students of history must be concerned! We know how this ends, having seen it happen repeatedly in other countries. I am so glad to see this, an answer to prayer. I have been praying for revival since Obama (who didn’t see that hatred of America!) and, recently, have been praying for God to shine His light, the Light of Truth, into all the dark corners of society and government, to expose the truth to all who have ears to hear and eyes to see. I pray that He stirs the hearts of we the people, stiffening our resolve to fight this evil. I pray that we the people confess the sin of complacency and apathy, that we have allowed this evil to insinuate itself into our country, and beg Him to forgive us. We, as a nation, have adopted infanticide as a norm, have only been mildly disturbed at the Dems boo’ing God, the kneeling before the altar of racism, turned a blind eye to pedophilia and the child abuse of transgenderism treatments, the embrace of muslim’s sharia law and marxism, etc. We have turned our collective backs on Him and embraced wickedness. It is long past time to stand for Him, for His Truth, for His Law. I don’t know if Trump is chosen by God for this task, but Trump has certainly put we the people first, hasn’t he? He has promoted freedom throughout the world, hasn’t he? So, until I see Trump promote sin, I’m willing to let him lead us. Heaven knows our other ‘leaders’ have led us down the path to perdition. Now is the time to pray as never before. Please join me.
