The Trump-obsessed comedian Jimmy Kimmel thought he caught the former president in a “got heem” moment last night when trying to make fun of the former president’s Truth Social app. It’s a terrible thing.
The Apple App Store has been reviewed and Truth Social was ranked No. 1 “Free App” spot, with Twitter down to No. 2. TikTok is another competitor and controlled by China. 5. The development comes just hours before Kimmel claimed Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s landmark purchase of Twitter put Trump in a very tough spot as a competitor in the social media market on the April 26 edition of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. “Now that he probably won’t be banned from Twitter anymore because Elon owns it, he’s kind of stuck.” Kimmel mocked Truth Social as “such a disaster, he himself hasn’t even posted on it for eleven weeks.”
Kimmel went on to make a bigger hole for himself. He flailed how Trump’s “dumb new company he conned everybody out of their money for, will become, I guess, the social media equivalent of a RadioShack.” Too bad for Kimmel, the “RadioShack” app is currently No. For the moment, it is No. 1.
Musk is not the only one. tweeted about Truth Social topping Twitter at 1:01 a.m. “Truth Social is currently beating Twitter & TikTok on the Apple Store,” he said. Musk recently succeeded in bypassing “poison pill” efforts by the platform’s board of directors to thwart his ultimately $44 billion Twitter purchase. Musk slammed the platform on March 26because of its heavy censorship. “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy,” Musk said.

Fast Company provided more context on Truth Social’s rise:
Truth Social is one of the most popular free iPhone apps on the App store. Twitter is number 2. 2.) Truth, according to Stephanie Chan (Mobile Insights Strategist, SensorTower), a mobile analytics company, was No. 52 as of Sunday—and Twitter was ranked at No. 39.
The fact that Trump’s app has emerged from a rocky start to contend with a formerly censorship-obsessed platform that dominated the public discourse for many years illustrates the enduring relevance of the free market. Kimmel however was only interested in spouting another mobster rant about Trump.
