Trump himself was suspended from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a handful of other social media apps last year for violating their content policies.Former Trump aide Jason Miller’s Twitter clone Gettr has reached some 1.9 million daily users with 6.7 million global installs, while Parler has about 11.3 million global installs, according to Sensor Tower. With around 1.2 million installs, Truth Social is so far trailing behind its competitors.

In the promo, Piers enters a heated debate with the former US President as he disagrees with Trump’s view that the previous election was rigged.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticPerhaps the only gratifying thing about Rudy Giuliani’s appearance on “The Masked Singer” is that the element of surprise the show’s producers craved was ruined in advance.Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer” saw former New York City mayor and lawyer for former President Donald Trump revealed as the Jack in the Box.
