Why would Trump ...

... want back on Twitter when Truth Social (or Troth Censhul, as he recently called it) is so wildly successful?

Looks like Devin Nunes is about to be thrown under the Trump bus for fucking-up what was poised to be the greatest social media platform evah.

Excuse me while I savour this moment ...

He wouldn't care if being on Twitter will bring him more headlines and attentions. Though, I think he will play with the "would he or wouldn't he?" a bit longer so the media will keep talking about him.

portrayed Truth Social while seeking investors was that it would be the only social media TFG used.

Now, the prospect of getting sued never stopped TFG from doing almost anything. And I've got no idea how small the odds of such a lawsuit succeeding are, but it's probably fairly small. AND a lot of the Truth Social investors were probably "investing" as a way of bribing/buying influence with TFG and viewed it more as an expenditure, not a real investment.

But anyway, it's something to consider.
