I read that someone who is not the real Donald Trump had gotten the account name realDonaldTrump on this new platform using the beta release of the app. She’s a journalist, I think. Didn’t expect to be able to keep it, of course. ---

That was the Trump vaccine, all samples of which were confiscated by Biden on Jan 20th 2020 and are now stockpiled in the depths of the DNC along with their Adrenochome stash for use by the elite. This was replaced with the deadly Sorros Gates microchip concoction that is now being distributed among the plebs. (I just made this up so I don’t know if this is an actual conspiracy theory, but with the Qanon equivalent of Rule 34 it probably is.) ---
