President Donald Trump's social media site, normally nothing more than a platform for himself to rant and his most avid fans to admire him, is plunging into warfare, as MAGA fans turn on each other over Trump's moves in the Iran conflict.

According to The New York Times, "Thousands of users on the social media platform, which Mr. Trump created in 2022, have responded to the president’s drumbeat of posts with a mix of frustration, disbelief and outrage. They have written that they feel betrayed by the expanding war in Iran and ashamed when Mr. Trump used an expletive on Easter to make demands of the Iranian government. Some were so perplexed by his military interventions that one declared they 'make zero sense.'"

Trump established Truth Social in response to his removal from other social media platforms following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. These platforms ultimately allowed him back on a few years later, but he has mostly continued to rely on Truth Social as his platform for communicating with the public.

He often uses it to go after whatever random person is annoying him at any given moment, like rock star Bruce Springsteen. One "committed anti-leftist" account called @Ultra_MAGA_King said, "You’re utterly destroying your presidency with this nonsense. It’s probably too late to course correct at this point. A shameful waste of a great start."
