Laughably it's called Truth. Most misleading name in history!
He is very entertaining. I'll give him that.

Glory to Ukraine.
Laughably it's called Truth. Most misleading name in history!
The main newspaper of the Soviet Union was called Pravda ("Truth").

He seems to believe that by hosting his own social site he'll be free to post whatever he wants (laughably, the "truth") - but sooner or later, content will be posted contrary to the hosting service provider's terms of use.
Which is why he was banned from Twitter and Facebook; this experiment will go the same way.

That would depend on whether this site uses a "hosting service provider", or goes the same route as Gab (from memory) went, and host the content themselves...
After being kicked off just about all the known providers, Gab went "underground" and used an undisclosed data center - which will have its own ToS. They're still using services from Cloudflare and that may yet backfire: their current IPs are assigned to Cloudflare which puts them in line for any future backlash against Gab. Their email is handled by ProtonMail and protected by Swiss privacy laws.
In August 2019, Amazon Web Services ceased serving Gab's fundraising site due to Gab violating Amazon's policy on hateful content. In response, Torba said he welcomed Amazon's decision, claiming that media coverage of the decision had only brought more attention to Gab and resulted in investment offers.
As of January 2021, Gab was still using Epik as a domain registrar. Instead of hosting its service in the cloud, The Wall Street Journal reported that Gab had been renting hardware in an undisclosed data center. Gab was also using services from Cloudflare.

He and his followers now have their own separate sandbox to play in and none of this enemies will have to see any of his mean tweets. Everyone wins.
But at least a few are in such a bad case of withdrawal that they will go onto the site just to see them, then go elsewhere to whine about what they saw...
It seems he has 2 types of fans - those that love him (and so create positive threads regarding him\his actions), and those who fit into the "hater-fan" or a form of "Celebrity worship syndrome" (expressing this "worship" in negative terms), who appear to have this intense need to ensure that everyone remembers him, and who therefore allow him to "live rent-free in their heads" (and so create negative threads regarding him\his actions whenever the opportunity presents to do so).
For everyone else, they have no need to look for news (positive or negative) either in general, or in order to create threads around him\his actions, instead they simply allow him to fade into the background of their lives, only mentioning (or thnking about) him in responce to prompting from a member of either of those fan categories...

Google image search results.
Some of those have been tweaked to accentuate the color but the majority haven't.

I mean, it looks a bit tippy-toe eggshells - after mentioning those who love him and <ahem> impartially disparaging those who don't, you open up an escape clause just wide enough to permit you to continue posting about him. He's clearly of sufficient interest for you to respond here, on a thread about nothing but Trump - or are you helplessly responding to a trigger which impels you to post to threads about him?
