Fancying himself the next Mark Zuckerberg, former President Donald Trump is launching his own social media platform.
Trump adviser Jason Miller told Fox News on Sunday that it will debut in two or three months and "completely redefine the game." Miller also said he expects "tens of millions" of users will be attracted to the platform, calling it "the hottest ticket in social media."
Trump's reinvention as a tech leader comes as he remains suspended from Twitter and Facebook due to his inflammatory posts before, during, and after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
