Donald Trump’s new social media app started a gradual rollout late Sunday and should be “fully operational” by late March, potentially raising the former president’s profile more than a year after he was banned by major social media platforms.

“This week, we will begin to roll out to people on the Apple App store,” said Devin Nunes, CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), parent company of the new app, Truth Social.

The former Republican congressman, who resigned from the House to take appointment as TMTG CEO, spoke on Fox News, on Sunday.

“I think, by the end of March, we’re going to be fully operational — at least within the United States,” added Nunes.

Trump has described Truth Social as an alternative to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, all of which banned him following the assault on the US Capitol by his supporters on January 6, 2021.

The former president has been accused of inciting his followers to use force in a bid to overturn the 2020 election.

On Sunday, the App Store was allowing visitors to pre-order Truth Social, starting from Monday, the Presidents Day holiday in the United States.

Later on Sunday, the app was reported as available to some of those who had pre-ordered it.

“It’s actually very moving for me to see people that are on the platform that have had their voice canceled.

“We want (customers) to tell us what they would like to have on the platform, which is the opposite of some Silicon Valley tech oligarch freak telling people what they want to think and deciding who can or cannot be on the platform,” Nunes said.

Trump and his wife, Melania, also plan to offer for sale 10,000 NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, illustrating key moments in the Trump presidency, on Monday.

NFTs are certified digital images that can be bought and sold.

“TRUTH is coming…” congresswoman Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking House Republican, tweeted Friday, in an allusion to the ominous “Winter is coming” catchphrase of television series “Game of Thrones.”

She posted a screen grab of her message on Truth Beta, the test version of the new site, saying, “I’m so excited to be on TRUTH!”

Also, Donald Trump Jr. celebrated on Twitter, posting: “Time for some Truth!!!” and including what he said was his father’s first post on Truth Social: “Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”

The group reportedly has a $1.25 billion treasure chest as it seeks a niche in a crowded conservative social-media marketplace, currently served by platforms such as Gettr, Parler and Gab.

Before being banned by Twitter, Trump had about 89 million followers there and used the platform constantly, both for presidential statements and to attack rivals.

Trump, who is 75, has hinted at but never definitively said whether he will seek the presidency again.

He is currently under the shadow of multiple investigations and lawsuits, including over his tax filings and his efforts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.
