Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ app set for release Monday in Apple App Store
Donald Trump’s new social media venture, Truth Social, appears set to launch in Apple’s App Store on Monday, according to posts from an executive on a test version viewed by Reuters, potentially marking the return of the former president to social media on the U.S. Presidents Day holiday.
In a series of posts late on Friday, a verified account for the network’s chief product officer, listed as Billy B., answered questions on the app from people invited to use it during its test phase. One user asked him when the app, which has been available this week for beta testers, would be released to the public, according to screenshots viewed by Reuters.
“We’re currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday Feb. 21,” the executive responded.
The launch would restore Trump’s presence on social media more than a year after he was banned from Twitter Inc (TWTR.N), Facebook (FB.O) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters, after he was accused of posting messages inciting violence.
On Feb. 15 Trump’s eldest son Donald Jr. posted on Twitter a screenshot of his father’s verified @realDonaldTrump Truth Social account with one post, or “truth,” that he uploaded on Feb. 14: “Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”
Led by former Republican U.S. Representative Devin Nunes, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the venture behind Truth Social, will join a growing portfolio of technology companies that are positioning themselves as champions of free speech and hope to draw users who feel their views are suppressed on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. So far none of the companies, which include Twitter competitors Gettr and Parler and video site Rumble, have come close to matching the popularity of their mainstream counterparts.
“This week we will begin to roll out on the Apple App Store. That’s going to be awesome, because we’re going to get so many more people that are going to be on the platform,” Nunes said in a Sunday appearance on Fox News’ ‘Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo’.
“Our goal is, I think we’re going to hit it, I think by the by the end of March we’re going to be fully operational at least within the United States,” he added.
In addition to the post disclosing Monday’s launch date, the screenshots seen by Reuters show the app is now at version 1.0, suggesting it has reached a level ready for public release. As late as Wednesday, it was at version 0.9, according to two people with access to that version.
A representative for TMTG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Apple’s App Store listing indicates that Truth Social is expected to be released on Feb. 21, a date that a source familiar with the venture confirmed in January. But in recent weeks Nunes had said publicly that the app would launch by the end of March.
On Friday, Nunes was on the app urging users to follow more accounts, share photos and videos and participate in conversations, in an apparent attempt to drum up activity, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Among Nunes’ posts, he welcomed a new user who appeared to be a Catholic priest and encouraged him to invite more priests to join, according to the person with knowledge of the matter.
NO WAY TO EDIT ‘TRUTHS’
The chief product officer’s other responses during Friday’s question-and-answer session suggested the startup’s features would resemble those of Twitter.
Asked whether users would be able to edit their “truths,” the executive replied “not yet.” The ability to edit posts after publication is something Twitter users have long sought.
The next significant feature released on the platform will be direct messages, or DMs, between users, the executive wrote.
The company is also considering allowing users to sign up to receive notifications when others post content, the executive said. He signaled that the ability to block other users would be an important component.
“There will always be block functionality in the app,” he wrote.
Truth Social will issue a policy on verified accounts “in the coming weeks,” the executive added.
Even as details of the app begin trickling out, TMTG remains mostly shrouded in secrecy and is regarded with skepticism by some in tech and media circles. It is unclear, for example, how the company is funding its current growth.
TMTG is planning to list in New York through a merger with blank-check firm Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.O) (DWAC), and stands to receive $293 million in cash that DWAC holds in a trust, assuming no DWAC shareholder redeems their shares, TMTG said in an Oct. 21 press release.
Additionally, in December TMTG raised $1 billion committed financing from private investors; that money also will not be available until the DWAC deal closes. read more
Digital World’s activities have come under scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, according to a regulatory filing, and the deal is likely months away from closing.

‘The Eyes, Blood Red!’ Kathie Lee Gifford’s Chilling Encounters with the Supernatural and Demons
Iconic American TV host, singer, songwriter, and author Kathie Lee Gifford is known for her bold faith in Christ. While she mainly focuses on a positive, faith-filled approach to life and the joy of having a relationship with God, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t encountered true evil during her Christian journey.
She recently opened up during an episode of the “Blurry Creatures Podcast,” sharing stories she has never told before about the times she faced supernatural manifestations of evil. She says those experiences “confirmed everything Jesus ever said.”
Kathie Lee went on “Blurry Creatures” to talk about her new book, Nero and Paul. She says there’s a clear contrast when you compare “ancient evil” to our “living hope” as Christians. But she says biblical realities of God’s Kingdom versus Satan’s evil darkness aren’t just ancient history – they are very real and are becoming more apparent in our world.
“Satan is Satan and he has his minions too. You know he has his demons. There’s an evil spirit and there’s a Holy Spirit. I believe that with all my heart,” she said.
Demonic Encounters
She says true evil not only exists, but she has seen it firsthand. And she believes more and more people are seeing it today, particularly through the lens of video recordings of events that we wouldn’t have heard about before the advent of social media.
Part of the lengthy conversation examined her disturbing firsthand exposure to demonic manifestations in separate incidents that took place from Delaware to the Holy Land.
Kathie Lee recounts two distinct experiences where she encountered demonic entities. She describes these events as “confirmed” experiences that reinforced her faith in the teachings of Jesus.
The Encounter with a Monk in Israel
During a trip to Bethlehem when she was 17, she and her mother entered a sacred site where people were lighting candles. They encountered a monk covered in a cloak who began to growl at them.
It happened when she and her companions could not provide money for a ritual because they left their purses on the bus.
She recalls, “And all of a sudden the cloak comes back and he goes… aaaagggghhhh! (makes a screeching sound). The teeth got orange. The eyes, blood red. You know it when you see it. It’s not subtle.”
*** WATCH CBN’s “Investigating the Supernatural” film series. “Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles,” deals with miraculous healing, and the second film — “Investigating the Supernatural: Angels and Demons,” which was released in March — explores the reality of angels and demons. ***
The Delaware Encounter
Kathie Lee reports she had an equally chilling encounter as a teenager in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
While sitting on a boardwalk bench with friends, a group of “gorgeous” young men approached and sat behind them. Although they appeared physically attractive, their behavior became disturbing.
She recalls that when she mentioned the name of Jesus, they began growling and their faces distorted. There was an immediate, oppressive presence that she quickly identified as demonic.
‘Everything Jesus Ever Said’
When asked if these events changed her perspective on the supernatural, she was clear that they validated her existing beliefs. “It confirmed, it confirmed everything Jesus ever said,” she explained.
She notes that while she has felt demonic oppression at other times, these specific instances were the only ones that manifested in such a visceral, physical way.
Kathie Lee highlights the importance of recognizing spiritual reality, arguing that biblical truth is not meant to be seen as a dry moral system, but as a living narrative of the clash between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of darkness.
