We'll Pass On Truth Social!

Google Play Store denied Truth Social.

The Google Play store has confirmed the far right social media platform Truth Social will not be available. They will not offer it to users of Android or Google based products.

Washed Up 45's struggling platform has not overtaken Twitter. Many on the far right would rather spend their time annoying the left on Twitter than Truth Social. They can't resist being assholes on the internet. The former president gave them a place to vent and it just doesn't live up to their expectations. They cannot debate or troll the left on Truth Social.

Google said the app lacks effective systems for moderating user-generated content, which violates the store’s terms of service.

Washed Up 45 had about 88 million followers on Twitter, has about 4 million followers on Truth Social, where he continues to push false claims about the election. He is facing a criminal investigation over secret government records he took with him to his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and is considering another run for the White House.

The former president sure had time to post threats to President Joe Biden. He went on his social media to reTruth a conspiracy theory from a user.

While Washed Up 45 has in the past promoted QAnon-inspired accounts and theories, the posts on his Truth Social account were his most explicit, unobscured, QAnon-promoting and QAnon-baiting posts to date.

In one, he reposted the QAnon slogan — “Where We Go One We Go All.” In another, he re-posted a 2017 message from “Q” that’s critical of the intelligence community. The QAnon conspiracy theory was built around Q, an anonymous account that posts periodically on 8kun, often with vague or symbolic language that is then interpreted by followers. The account claims to document a secret battle being waged by Washed Up 45 against the Democratic Party, which followers of the theory contend is run by satanic, child-eating cannibals who run a pedophile ring filled with celebrities and political elites who have been covertly running the United States government for decades. None of the posts’ concrete predictions have come to fruition.

Users of QAnon forums rejoiced at the former president’s apparent endorsement of the conspiracy theory and its mythology. The top response on the most visited QAnon forum to one of Washed Up 45’s posts about the conspiracy theory read simply, “Wipe them out sir.” Others pleaded with the former president to “nuke them from orbit” and to “sir, please finish them off,” referring to QAnon enemies such as Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden.

In addition to the QAnon-adjacent posts, the former president shared several conspiracy theories Tuesday on his Truth Social site and he re-posted a picture of Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with the words “Your enemy is not in Russia” written in black bars over their eyes.

The posting spree comes one day after the former president posted a message that he should be reinstated as president — “Declare the rightful winner, or hold a new Election, NOW!” — and as he’s come under increased scrutiny from federal investigators who executed a search warrant at his Florida resort earlier this month and recovered troves of classified documents.

Can't he just shut the fuck up?

In the weeks since, Washed Up 45 has made a number of incendiary comments bashing the FBI, baselessly suggesting the agency planted evidence and claiming the search was politically motivated.

On Tuesday, he re-posted items about the Jan. 6 riot being orchestrated by the FBI and antifa, and made a false claim about the wife of a man named Ray Epps, who has been accused in right-wing conspiracy theories of being a federal agent who egged on Capitol rioters. The House committee investigating the riot has disputed those claims.

Washed Up 45 also re-posted a message from a user falsely claiming to be his daughter Ivanka who was complaining about “the useless vaccines.” (Karenvanka has been a strong supporter of the Covid-19 vaccine).

Washed Up 45, for years, has done little to distance himself from QAnon and its supporters. Asked his opinion of QAnon followers in August 2020, the then-president said, “I’ve heard these are people who love our country.”

More recently, adherents have pushed a large number of conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen — some of which were later adopted by the former president and his lawyers. They’ve also called for a civil war to restore Washed Up 45 to power — although some followers believe he’s still in charge of the country.

The group’s followers have been linked to several violent incidents, including a train hijacking, kidnappings, a police chase and a slaying.

In his remarks on the group in 2020, the former president said he didn’t know much about QAnon and its followers, “other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate.”
