Following the poor performance of his Truth Social app, former President Donald Trump may join the conservative social media platform Gettr, The Washington Post reported.

According to Reuters, Trump's social media platform, which he launched in February to compete with Twitter and Facebook, has been such a disaster that two of its top executives have resigned.

Trump Reportedly Mulls Joining Gettr

After Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, he and many of his subordinates were banned from every major social media site, prompting right-wing personalities like former Trump spokesman Jason Miller to launch alternative platforms that they claimed were censor-free, Forbes reported.

Miller stated in October 2021 that he was unable to reach an agreement with the former president on the creation of a social media site. The two subsequently parted ways, with Miller heading up Gettr and Trump unveiling his venture with the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG).

The platform will be completely functioning in the U.S. by the end of March, according to CEO Devin Nunes, a former congressman who left Washington to operate the app. However, according to RollingStone, this did not happen because the app has been plagued by technical issues since its launch in February.

Truth Social is only the 28th most popular social network on Apple's App Store, and it is not yet available for Android.

It was reported that Truth Social has just over 500,000 daily active users, compared to Twitter's 215 million. It's the 355th most popular app on Apple devices right now.

According to The Washington Post, Trump has "privately fumed" about Truth Social's failure to garner a large audience since its launch, citing an anonymous source familiar with the situation.

"The former president is also considering joining Gettr," the source noted.

Trump made his first post on the Truth Social in February, shortly after it was launched.

Since then, he failed to post anything.

The Washington Post's source said that Trump has been avoiding posting on Truth Social because he does not believe the app is "ready for prime time." 

Two Key Tech Executives Quit Truth Social

The company's chief of technology and chief of product development, Josh Adams and Billy Boozer, respectively, are the two executives who are leaving after less than a year. According to eight sources who spoke with Reuters, both were crucial aspects of the operation.

According to two sources familiar with the company, the departure of two executives critical to the app launch preparations might jeopardize the company's development as it strives to prove it can compete with mainstream platforms like Twitter.

One of the sources said, "If Josh has left ... all bets are off," calling Adam the "brains" behind the app's technology.

Reuters said that it is unclear whether Adams and Boozer are still involved in the company in some form after leaving their leadership positions. It also could not determine the particular reason surrounding the executives' resignations, as well as whether they have been replaced or their responsibilities changed.
