Active users of President Donald Trump’s social media platform have dropped like flies.

Trump’s Truth Social site, where he threatens other countries and posts self-aggrandizing AI slop, has experienced a dramatic drop in daily active users of its mobile app since last July, according to the Financial Times.

The outlet, citing estimates from the digital market intelligence company SimilarWeb, reported that the mobile site’s daily active users have plummeted from 436,000 in July 2025 to only 261,000 one year later.

Maybe the simplest explanation is the one nobody in Trump’s orbit wants to hear: people are getting bored of him! The outrage, insults and permanent culture war worked when every post felt like an event. After a decade, it’s background noise. Truth Social isn’t just losing users: it may be measuring the slow deflation of the Trump personality cult.
