Launching Truth Social on Presidents’ Day was intentional, but some think that was part of its problem. One person tweeted, “I think they were determined to have Presidents’ Day launch so the[y] released a product that wasn’t ready for market and it shows.” They weren’t alone. Another tweeted, “Truth Social is absolutely nowhere near being ready to launch. Couldn’t even enter date of birth – app already died. I built apps for 6 years. This is a basic fail. Not sure how @AppStore approved this. Did they feel pressure to approve Trump’s app so they wouldn’t look biased?”
CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy confirmed how hard it was to sign up, tweeting, “I tried to read the Truth Social Terms of Service, but when I click the link from the homepage, I get redirected to a 404 [error] page. Same thing happens when I try to read the privacy policy. And when I try to sign up for the waitlist, I get sent to a 405 [error] page.” Trump’s fans, however, are steadfast, and not worried about the glitches. One wrote, “I’m on the waitlist for #TruthSocial. I’m excited to be able to get rid of Twitter! Everyone needs to delete their accounts once Truth Social is completely up and running smoothly.” Meanwhile another tweeted, “I’m having a hard time getting on Truth Social. Which is GOOD! Well played by the man who can, Trump! Happy REAL Presidents’ Day!” Here, it’s implied that the error must just be because too many people are using the app.

But it doesn’t seem as though it’s been fun. Some potential users continue to get error messages when trying to sign up for an account on the app, and others have been able to sign up but then receive the following notification: “Due to massive demand, we have placed you on our waitlist” (per CNET).
