The social media platform TruthSocial experienced significant disruptions following a post by former President Donald Trump regarding the shooting incident at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Shortly after the attack, which is being investigated as an assassination attempt, Trump took to his TruthSocial account to provide details about the incident. In his post, Trump described hearing a “whizzing sound” and feeling “the bullet ripping through the skin” of his right ear, resulting in “much bleeding.”
Trump’s firsthand account of the shooting sparked an immediate surge of activity on the platform, overwhelming its servers and causing widespread outages. Users reported difficulties accessing the site, with many encountering error messages and long loading times.
The TruthSocial team acknowledged the technical issues, stating that they were working to restore full functionality as quickly as possible. In a statement, the platform’s leadership expressed their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of their users in the wake of the disturbing events at the Trump rally.
“We are deeply concerned by the attack on President Trump and are closely monitoring the situation,” the statement read. “The wellbeing of our users is our top priority, and we are taking all necessary steps to maintain the integrity of our platform during this challenging time.”

As the investigation into the Pennsylvania shooting continues, the TruthSocial team has vowed to work tirelessly to restore full functionality and ensure the seamless operation of the platform. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by social media platforms in navigating the complex and often volatile landscape of modern politics.
