Who is going bankroll that? Will his users pay for access, when they can use other services for free? It is the same problem facing all social media platforms, how to monetise, but in the case of FB and Twitter they at least has market dominance. Also, Trump business track record is pretty poor.

Either it would become a platform of hate which would then be de-platformed (Like Parler): AWS, Azure or Google will simply refuse to host it without changes to moderate hate/violence speech. Or it does change to stay on the platform in which case most of the users would leave or have to be banned and then it becomes another also-ran and go under within 6 months of changing. So lifespan of 12-15 months.

He isnt going into the market as he has some revolutionary way to "change the dynamic" of social media, he would only do it to stick it to Twitter for banning him! It would be the most amateur platform out there, since he would either hire the cheapest devs possible or flat out refuse to pay them after the fact so no continued development, if his prior form is to be believed; it would Parler or even MSN Messenger look advanced. At most we will get is probabyl him having a 30 minute/1 hour slot each week on OANN or Newsmax which will just be him whinging about "how bad a job Biden is doing notrealPresident" or other rants against everyone he doesnt like and how great he is.....just a televised version of his rallies each week.

A rather depressing fact was, that unless his presidential entitlements are removed by the Senate, he will simply stay at any of his resorts and those properties will be paid to host his security detail. A modest but constant revenue stream for him

correct horse battery staple wrote: » I voted Other I think he will start his own mega church (MAGAchurch?) Where he will continue preaching his gospel, he loves rambling to adoring followers who he can milk for hundreds of millions he needs to pay of debts and further litigation defense. As added bonus he can cloak his hate speech in religious protections and finally churches in us get all sorts of tax exemptions. He will spend next decade ranting in large halls and fields (all televised of course) before a series of strokes kills him.

That assumes that he can stay out of prison, which isn't a certainty. I don't think he'll be back to politics though. McConnell doesn't seem to see a future for him so there might be enough republicans to convict him for their own self-serving reasons in the Senate trial.
