Truth Social User Traffic Drops Over 30% Amid Financial Losses Ahead of US Midterms
Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former US President Donald Trump, has seen a decline of over 30% in daily user traffic over the past year, dropping from 420,000 in June 2025 to around 260,000 recently. Despite Trump's frequent and prolific posting, including videos and policy announcements, the platform faces financial losses exceeding $405 million in the first quarter of 2026. Truth Social's user base remains small compared to major platforms like Facebook and X, raising questions about its future ahead of the US midterm elections.
