User drop suggests ‘rejection of harsh rhetoric’ spewed by the former US president, rightwing media analyst says

Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform experienced a third straight month of audience decline in June, a leading analyst of rightwing media said, detecting signs of “trouble at the ballot box” for the Republican presidential nominee.

The diminishing audience levels for Truth Social suggest a rejection of the harsh rhetoric expressed by the ex-president and his political allies that is one of the hallmarks of the two-year-old platform,” Howard Polskin said.

“If this softness persists, it might portend trouble for Mr Trump at the ballot box in November.”

Polskin is president of TheRighting, a site that seeks to “inform middle-of-the-road and liberal audiences about stories and viewpoints not on their radar that are shaping political opinion across a wide swath of America”.

      Yeah I was going to say that this is either from Americans dying of the new covid strain/being really old or Russians being sent to Ukraine. That is what’s shrinking his followers. They’re not getting less racist.
