  • The Daily Beast reported that Donald Trump asked why the Truth Social app wasn't dominating the competition.

  • The app was plagued by technical difficulties and is currently trailing its competitors.

  • The former president has been heard swearing and complaining about the app.

According to The Daily Beast, Donald Trump is angry about the launch of his new social media app.

Sources told the outlet that Trump had been heard on the phone and asking what the fuck was going on.

The former president's app was delayed due to technical difficulties.

Many people who downloaded the app say they couldn't create accounts.

According to The Daily Beast, the former president has been complaining about the negative press surrounding the app, demanding to know why more people aren't using it and why it isn't dominating the competition.

According to The Daily Beast, an analysis of the app's traffic suggests that Truth Social is doing worse than its competitors.

When Truth Social first came out, it had a huge spike in visits, but then it went down to an average of 300,000 visits a day.

It puts the site on par with Gettr but far behind Gab, which averaged around 650,000 daily visits in the same period.

Gab has banned its mobile apps from both Apple and the app stores.

According to The Daily Beast, the app's long wait time may be the reason for Truth Social's lack of traffic.

It is only available on the Apple app store.

The former president is making appearances on TV and radio to comment on current affairs, instead of posting Truth Social.

Insider can't verify whether or not Trump has posted, as Truth Social is still limiting access to the app.

The founder and chairman of Truth Social is the former president, who was barred from using social media after the Capitol riot.
