Funny but 400 posts with #TrumpIsACoward and 16500 with #Trump2024 . It really just shows how unpopular truth social is more than anything.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He is indeed a coward. He is also far too old.
And apparently he smells weird too
That's from all the poopy diapers. And I wish I was making that up.
Not only does Trump wear poopy diapers, but when that fact was revealed in court his ~~supporters~~ cult members started wearing diapers too:
- Trump Supporters Wore Diapers at Rallies? (snopes.com, May 2024)
Donald Trump supporters wore diapers at rallies in spring 2024, holding signs that said "Real men wear diapers."
Edit: typo
reality is far more absurd than any parody could even manage at this point
He bravely ran away
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled
That reads like a Terry Pratchett joke
Was that a swallow flying over their head?
The brave Sir Robin!
And there was much rejoicing. Yay!
A strategic full speed ahead in the opposite direction

He ran away from a debate and tried to start a new one. What a wimp.

Whatta weird loser
What a weirdo
I sense ketchup splattered walls and a wildly swinging ban-hammer in the near future.
Trump must be calling Elon to check what to do
"Flush Truth down the Xitter"
They both call Peter Thiel
Yeah but his only advice is to harvest the blood of your children to prevent aging.
Stock market advice? Invest in blood transfusions
Dating advice? Blood transfusions make you look young and sexy
High cholesterol? More blood
Low potassium? More blood
Too much blood? Weirdly enough, also blood transfusion.
Maybe the billionaires are finally figuring out that having the Dynamite Monkey for president is bad for business.

He doesn't want to get fact checked.
He couldn't care less about that, he doesn't want to look weak getting manhandled by a woman because then his bullshit strongman thing dissolves.
FTFY: ~~Truth~~ Weird Social
Always has been.
So, is it trolls or are his followers starting to drop?
Most of the internet's organized troll groups are already the ones pushing right wing narratives (even when those right wing narratives come with a thin coat of red paint.) Truth social is definitely infested with trolls, but they are the kind trying to get Trump elected. A mutiny on his own platform would almost certainly have to be organic.
Not to be "that guy" who doesn't trust everything he reads on the internet, but... what credible sources are saying that "most of the internet troll groups are ... pushing right wing narratives? I wonder how they would track such a thing.
You'll get the hang of detecting paid trolls (or peoplec onvinced by them), there are lots of signs like Never back down, change the narrative (die hard people do not often do that), has lots of info that is somewhere in betweed what you are discussing and line USAbad/Russia_china-not-bad, Always lean onto one side, even if it's subtle... sometimes not.
And dude are they 99% pro dictators/trump/anti-demicracy/... you get the idea.
For example, people calling out Biden for the Israeli war crimes, but conveniently forgetting Trump. And also because it was a pro Trump thing, now when Biden stepped down for reelection (shouldn't change anything, right? A warcrime or genocide is still there) they all vanished...
It's equally possible you're just assuming everyone who doesn't share your opinion is a paid troll. I got called a Russian troll multiple times for saying Biden had no business being in this election and that we could do better. Imo it's far more likely you're talking to a child than a "paid troll" if their opinions don't make sense and they dig their heels in. Assuming everything is some grand conspiracy instead of accepting that some people have different beliefs and opinions, or might just be that stupid, simply isn't healthy. Trolls and such exist, sure, but I don't think they are anywhere near as common as you're implying.

There's a difference?
Maybe trolls. In the article there is a picture of trending phrases, all of which have 1000s of posts except for Trump is a coward, which has less than 500, but I assume they were all made within a short time span so that's how they made the trending list

Trump is a scaredy cat man
And very weird too!
Are we sure they aren’t just responding to the hashtag from Twitter? I don’t plan to check but just a thought…
Yeah, it's pretty obviously not what it sounds like. This would be a pretty big headline if the story behind it was true but no other media outlet has reported it except Raw Story, which is considered to have a Strong Left bias. If I were to guess I would say the hashtag is being used to mock progressives now that the Harris campaign is being reported by right-leaning media as having "declined" the Fox debate.
