I wonder if Trump sees the connection between his Truth Social site and Orwell's Ministry of Truth.

Washington Post: Pranksters have already defaced Trump’s new social network

Banned by all major social networks after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Trump has for months agitated to regain the online megaphone that once blasted his voice around the world. In a presentation released Wednesday by his new media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, his team hailed the new social network as the first tentpole for a Trump-led media, news and Internet empire that would one day compete with CNN, Disney and Facebook.

...

The site looks almost entirely like a Twitter clone: A user can post Truths, which are like tweets, or Re-Truths, which are retweets. There is also a news feed, called the Truth Feed, a notification system so users can know who interacts with their Truths, the social network’s App Store profile states.

From George Orwell's 1984:

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.

Pilate had it right:

Jesus said “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” and Pilate cleverly replied, “What is truth?” - John 18:37-38

1. You can be sure TFG has never read any actual literature,

and certainly not 1984. And he doesn't care whether something is true or false; he cares only whether it benefits him.

2. TFG doesn't see shit...

More like...

"Orwell?.. Who's Orwell??"

"Where's my Big Mac?"

"I can't find the remote!!"

3. Just like "America First"

He may not know what double think is, but those who cook this stuff up, do.

That pandering tribute speaks volumes.

5. The best purchase Putin & then old KGB ever made

so far

6. Remember the great Parler exodus? Trolls need fish to survive. They can't feed on each other.

This is why Trump's Truth will go as bankrupt as every other company that he's been associated with.

7. Please. Introspection is on the same level as "socialism" to them.

8. We all know there's no truth on this website

9. "George Orville made a great popcorn. Some say the greatest popcorn."

being Orwellian comes naturally to fascists.

10. Republicans depend on people swallowing their lies

Their little lies, and their big lies.

But this will soon terminate.
