I want to keep up with whatever a certain someone is posting on that site, but I don’t want to give them another subscriber. Is there a proxy or some other system that allows me to see what’s being said there without having to join? ---

If the “certain someone” is Donald Trump, I think you can safely assume whatever he posts will be reported widely by the mainstream media. ---

Well, thing is, I have Facebook feeds that show me what he’s posted, but it’s turned out that some of them have been faked. ---

Okay. How about reading, watching or listening to a mainstream media source? Edited to add, some news reports include links to the Truth Social posts. (And [here is a link to his posts](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump).) ---

I feel I’m being misunderstood. He oft posts alarming and ridiculous stuff, and that gets picked up by the media. But he just as oft posts nonsense that’s not newsworthy. Yesterday someone posted a pic of him supposedly having posted just the word “Bela.” There’s no news story there, but I just want to know if I’m being told the truth or not. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Okay. How about reading, watching or listening to a mainstream media source? Can you name any media source that reports on every single thing that Trump excretes on a daily basis? What’s wrong with getting information you seek directly from the source, without the need for an intermediary? @HeyHomie - yes, you can directly access Trump’s Truth Social account: > **[Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump)** (I managed to find this by googling “Trump’s Truth Social account”.) ---

Is this really not a parody post: _I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS, that is Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine. I’m only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President. I know exactly what I’m doing, and I don’t need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them. They are “STUPID” people, with no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current R/U disaster more difficult to FIX. Despite all of my lightweight and very jealous critics, I’ll get it done — I always do!!! President DJT_ I can’t help imagining someone responding to this with a simple “If you say so, dear. Now eat your greens” ---

The countless Ivermectin ads(for human consumption $2 each!) worry me more than Trumps vomit. 😱 (I’m sorry I looked too) ---

I know this is Factual Questions but there’s something wrong with the POTUS using a paid social media site for communications (especially one that he owns!). There needs to be a mechanism by which anything he posts on Truth Social or elsewhere is duplicated to a freely accessible dot-gov website. ---

Truth Social isn’t a paid site - you can freely access anything on it apart from DMs. ---

Thanks for the correction but the site still contains advertising and is owned by Trump. So he’s making money when he posts as POTUS. ---

If you don’t want to contribute to Truth Social, all of Trump’s posts are aggregated [here.](https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/topic/social/?platform=all&sort=date&sort_order=desc&page=1) ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Thanks for the correction but the site still contains advertising and is owned by Trump. So he’s making money when he posts as POTUS Rest easy. Trump Media has never shown a profit. For the full year 2024, they sunk even further: $3.6 million in revenue and a net loss of $401 million. ---

I suspect the Trump family makes money even when the company doesn’t. It’s not like this is their first money losing business; they have vast expertise in that. ---

OTOH, you see Invermectin ads even when you have no intention of buying. So basically, your click costs that Invermectin dealer/pusher money for no benefit. Meanwhile, Untruth Social is losing money hand over fist. Just ignore the ads secure in that knowledge.
