I Checked Out Trump's Unhinged Streaming Site. Then Charlie Kirk Was Shot. What I Saw Shocked Me
"As such, Trump Media has expanded its offerings in the hopes of attracting more customers, including a new artificial intelligence search tool, in partnership with Perplexity, that frequently contradicts many of Trump's own statements. But the most peculiar of these bonus features may be Truth+, an entire streaming service available, mostly, for free. Of all the cash-intensive goodies now made available to Trump's most die-hard stans, the Truth+ streamer is the most elaborate and overlooked."
"It's been in the works for a while: The company began rolling out Truth+ just over a year ago, first adding a live-TV-streaming feature to the Truth Social mobile app in August 2024, then introducing Truth+ to popular streaming hubs like Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku. Access to the free streaming service expanded worldwide in July, with Newsmax as the flagship channel."
"The stock value of parent company Trump Media & Technology Group is way down, his deranged announcements haven't boosted overall usership, and the business still hasn't come close to a profit. (This sore spot for Trump even comes up in his $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times, whose reporting, he alleges, directly caused Trump Media's stock to plummet.)"
Trump Media & Technology Group is facing falling stock value, stagnant usership, and a lack of profitability. The company alleges external reporting caused its stock to plummet in a $15 billion lawsuit. The company is expanding offerings to attract customers, including an AI search tool built with Perplexity that sometimes contradicts Trump. Truth+ is a new, broadly available streaming service rolled out over the past year on mobile and popular streaming devices. Truth+ provides dozens of 24/7 live channels, over 1,000 on-demand movies and shows labeled as censored by Hollywood, built-in DVR, and a beta $9.99 subscription plan.
