Former President Donald Trump hit the jackpot this spring when his social media company finally went public.

Even though Trump Media & Technology Group DJT generates very little revenue, investors are assigning an eye-popping valuation north of $9 billion to the company. Trump’s dominant stake in Trump Media is now valued at nearly $6 billion.

Yet new data shows its main product — the conservative-friendly social network Truth Social — remains a very tiny player in its industry, and it’s getting even smaller.

Truth Social’s average number of daily active US users on iOS and Android dropped by 19% year over year in April to about 113,000, according to data shared exclusively with CNN from Similarweb, a data intelligence company.

    How many of those 113,000 are just reporters waiting for Drumph’s next manufactured controversy to report on? Can they please just stop regurgitating every stupid thing he spouts?

      Yeah also why the hell do they show up at the courthouse every single day after the trial and let him spew his lies? They don’t do that for other people on trial they just report what happened. Why does he get to make it a campaign speech?
