As the presidential candidates head into the most heated phase of the election year so far, former President Donald Trump has made a distinctive shift in tone on his Truth Social profile, lashing out in increasingly vulgar, misogynistic and vindictive posts.
Just this week, hes reposted messages calling for his political opponents to be jailed, calling for a return of public military tribunals for people like former President Barack Obama, as well as making a graphic sexual joke about Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrat Hillary Clinton, his opponent in 2016. The repost of the sexual joke now appears to have been removed from Trumps profile.
But youd only see that if youre a user of Truth Social. On other more mainstream platforms like X and TikTok, Trump has maintained a more even tone, one seemingly designed for consumption by a much wider swath of American voters.
Truth Social has long been a safe space for Trump allies and acolytes, a place theyre free to lean into unfounded claims of election fraud and a search for revenge, with the distinct possibility those messages could be seen and reposted or retruthed" by Trump himself. But it has a far more limited reach than the major platforms, leaving things largely out of sight and mind for the vast majority of Americans.
