The White House claims the Donald Trump-owned Truth Social is the \u201cmost powerful and popular social media platform in the world.\u201d The statement, provided to The New York Times<\/em><\/a> by White House spokesperson Davis Ingle, is at odds with the user counts from some of the biggest social media platforms on the web.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Data gathered by Search Engine Land<\/em><\/a> shows YouTube is the most popular platform in the world, with 2.65 billion monthly active users. Facebook comes in second with 2.39 billion active users around the globe, followed by TikTok with 2.21 billion and Instagram with 1.99 billion. Truth Social doesn\u2019t make Search Engine Land<\/em>\u2019s top 10 list, which shows Elon Musk\u2019s X and Meta\u2019s Threads at the bottom with 450 million and 223 million users, respectively. Even those platforms trail Pinterest, which is listed with 579 million global users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Truth Social\u2019s traffic appears to be declining. As reported by the NYT<\/em><\/a>, data from Similarweb suggests that the number of monthly visitors to Truth Social dipped 36 percent in July compared to the same time last year. From January to July 2025, an average of 28 million people visited Truth Social each month, while this number fell to 25 million during the first seven months of 2026, according to the NYT<\/em>. Last month, Truth Social launched its $100,000 \/ month subscription<\/a> to gain early access to posts from Trump and other prominent users, raising concerns about corruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The NYT<\/em> report details Trump\u2019s posting patterns on Truth Social, which often include AI-generated images, such as one showing his head on Hulk Hogan\u2019s body<\/a> and another<\/a> hitting a cut-out of Iran with a hammer brandishing the American flag. Ingle cites President Trump\u2019s \u201cauthentic voice\u201d as the reason for the platform\u2019s so-called popularity, adding it\u2019s where \u201che communicates directly with the American people and the world without the biased media taking him out of context.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
