Truth Social User Traffic Declines Over 30% Amid Financial Losses Before US MidtermsPreviousNext

Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump's social media platform, has seen a decline in daily users from 420,000 in June 2025 to around 260,000 last month, a drop of over 30%. Despite Trump's frequent posts, including a recent video of himself wrestling a tiger, the platform trails far behind larger competitors like Facebook and X. The parent company reported significant financial losses in the first quarter, citing unrealized losses on digital assets and other expenses as contributing factors.
