Active users of President Donald Trump’s social media platform have dropped like flies.
Trump’s Truth Social site, where he threatens other countries and posts self-aggrandizing AI slop, has experienced a dramatic drop in daily active users of its mobile app since last July, according to the Financial Times.
The outlet, citing estimates from the digital market intelligence company SimilarWeb, reported that the mobile site’s daily active users have plummeted from 436,000 in July 2025 to only 261,000 one year later.
He doesn’t care how many people use it. It served it’s purpose. It started when he was banned from social media. So he could keep ranting and raving.
He also used it launching to make a bunch of money. Then he used it to help launch his meme coin rug pull to make even more tons of money. Since then he’s been using it to openly manipulating the stock market over and over for his own personal gain. He’s now using it as a platform to directly sell the right to make tons of money insider trading to anyone willing to pay $100,000/month.
The only two type of people who matter to him on his scam social media platform are the people paying him all that money for early access to whatever bullshit he plans to say to manipulate the stock market, and all the news agencies who are always so excited to grab any new rambling insanity he shits out there and post articles to make sure everyone hears about it… which is how he manipulates the stock market to begin with.
I don’t buy that he doesn’t care about the user numbers. Trump may love money, but he also seems addicted to attention, audience size and dominating the conversation. A shrinking Truth Social hits exactly where it hurts: fewer people choosing to listen to him directly.
