The Trump release said the company will be publicly traded through a merger with another firm called Digital World Acquisition Corporation. Trump has long signalled aspirations to start a social media company after he was booted from Twitter and Facebook. Earlier this year, he abandoned a website blog where he posted statements after it attracted relatively few readers.
Trump, who has teased that he might run again in 2024 without making any formal announcement, has been banned by major social-media companies for his role in encouraging supporters who broke into the US Capitol on January 6 as both houses of Congress were meeting to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
