GETTR is another alternative social media platform, launched by former Trump aide Jason Miller. Unlike Twitter and Facebook, GETTR will not censor supporters of President Trump and other conservatives. However, if President Trump does not support these alternative social media platforms, then it is unlikely that they will have the impact we need to counter the Left.
GETTR: "People won't be cancelled for their political beliefs."
"Posts can be as long as 777 characters, videos can be up to 3 minutes, you can also edit video within the app – you can import all of your tweets into your Gettr post history." @JasonMillerinDC. pic.twitter.com/2zTRXNASC2

Trump’s former top aide launches GETTR, a new conservative social media platform
By Insider, July 2, 2021
- A former Trump aide has started a new conservative social media platform, GETTR.
- GETTR’s format is similar to Twitter’s, with trending topics and resharing posts.
- Trump was booted from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. He shut down his blog over low readership.
Former President Donald Trump’s top aide Jason Miller has launched a new social media platform, GETTR.
Miller recently left his post as Trump’s spokesman to launch GETTR, Politico reported on Thursday. He was replaced by former Republican National Committee press secretary Liz Harrington.
Trump has explored various ways to get back on social media after being banned from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram in the wake of the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Trump is permanently suspended from Twitter, and will be suspended from Facebook and Instagram for the next two years.
Most recently, Trump shuttered his blog “From the Desk of Donald Trump,” reportedly due to low readership rates and mockery over the site’s low traffic and engagement.
Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs reported later on Thursday that Trump won’t be joining GETTR and still wants to create his own platform.
News: Trump isn't joining Jason Miller's new social media platform, Gettr — won't have any financial stake or participation, I'm told. Apparently the ex president still has plans for a separate platform. Unclear what exactly.

GETTR very strongly resembles Twitter in format, with trending topics, verified users, and the ability to reshare and like posts.
The Daily Beast reported on Thursday that one of the app’s financial backers is fugitive Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui. Another former top Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, was arrested on Wengui’s yacht off the shore of Connecticut and charged with fraud (he subsequently received a presidential pardon from Trump).
Buzzfeed News reported in February that Trump’s team was in talks for the former president to exclusively join Parler, another conservative platform that tried to mimic Twitter, in exchange for a 40% stake in the company, a deal that never came to fruition.
An excerpt of Michael Wolff’s upcoming book “Landslide” also reported that a condition of the deal would have been for Parler to ban any users who spoke poorly about the former president. This, despite Trump’s complaints about social media platforms censoring users over their social media beliefs.
