Former President Trump plans to partially limit himself from Twitter, according to a new federal securities depository from the blank check company that goes public with his social network, Truth Social.
Why it matters: Trump had said in the past that he wouldn’t return to Twitter, even if he were reinstated through Elon Musk, but many think it’s a hollow promise.
What the dossier says: “President Trump is required to post any social network on TruthSocial and cannot post the same post on another social media site for 6 hours. Subsequently, you can post on any site you have access to Therefore, TMTG has a limited time to profit from your posts and subscribers wouldn’t find it convincing to use TruthSocial to read your posts so quickly.
In addition, you can post a message from a non-public account connected to political messages, political fundraising, or voting efforts on any social network at any time. “
Between the lines: This gives Trump a great way out, given the caution about “political messages. “But it would limit Trump’s tweets to purely social, commercial, etc. issues.
What you want to know: Truth Social is not yet a bet to go public, as the blank check company still appears to be the subject of a federal securities investigation (according to the registry).
The bottom line: this dossier written in such a way that it protects itself in case Trump runs for president again.
