Why can’t the world access Donald Trump’s social media app?

Last year former U.S President Donald Trump announced he was planning to launch his own social media company… but why can’t we access it?

Trump wants to stand up to the tyranny of big tech and says we live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter yet your favourite American president has been silenced.

The app launched on Presidents’ Day on the 21st of February, but is plagued with problems just weeks later.

Right now there is a waiting list of nearly 1.5 million, who are unable to use it.

Truth Social chief executive Devin Nunes said its goal was to be “fully operational” by the end of March, which hasn’t happened

Many are frustrated and experts are baffled why the app is having so many hiccups over a month on from launch.
