Trump’s Truth Social Faces a Sharp Decline in Traffic

October 15, 2026 · 6:14 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Donald Trump uses Truth Social daily to shape the course of the war in Iran, announce new policies and share AI-generated videos of himself. But the audience for his social network is shrinking,” the Washington Post reports.

“Traffic to Truth Social fell more than 30 percent in the year ending in September, according to an analysis by digital intelligence firm Similarweb. The platform averaged about 260,000 daily users last month, down from a peak of 420,000 in June 2025.”
