He declined to provide details.\u00a0He spoke to The Post over a steak lunch at a restaurant near Gettr\u2019s New York headquarters. It\u2019s located in flashy clothing brand Versace\u2019s former offices on the 20th floor of 3 Columbus Circle. (The gilded flourishes left behind from the former tenant might appeal to Trump\u2019s similarly flashy tastes.)<\/p>\n<p>Gettr has received\u00a0funding from Guo Wengui, a businessman who fled China in 2014 and is close with fellow\u00a0ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon. It also has other unnamed backers and\u00a0has raised about $75 million so far, the company says.\u00a0Miller told The Post he has recently been speaking with potential investors overseas, including\u00a0in Latin America and Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gettr is\u00a0not the first platform to court the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Parler, another free speech-oriented alternative to Twitter and Facebook, gained traction among conservatives in late 2020 before crashing and burning when\u00a0Amazon Web Services banned the company\u00a0in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots, leaving its app unusable for a month.\u00a0Trump reportedly considered joining Parler but balked when the company refused to censor his critics,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/michael-wolff-landslide-final-days-trump-presidency-excerpt.html\">New York Magazine reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GettyImages-1234596140-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19634181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GettyImages-1234596140-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GettyImages-1234596140-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/GettyImages-1234596140-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>GETTR has struggled with content moderatoin issues.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">SOPA Images\/LightRocket via Gett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gettr also relies on Amazon Web Services to provide the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that undergirds its site, but Miller said it has a backup plan to avoid an extended Parler-like outage if Amazon cuts off the company.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its \u201cfree speech\u201d ethos, Gettr has avoided censoring some controversial content. While\u00a0YouTube has banned much \u201canti-vax\u201d content, Gettr allows such content on its site, according to Miller, who had to show proof of vaccination and wear a mask in order to enter the restaurant where he met with The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Miller is looking to set Gettr apart from rival pro-Trump platforms by making it more international in scope.

Miller didn\u2019t say exactly how many moderators are employed by Gettr, but said the company has about 300 total employees and full-time contractors around the world, including 50 in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Looming over Miller\u2019s conversations with Trump is the possibility that the former president will run again in 2024 \u2014 a prospect the ex-adviser says is increasingly likely.<\/p>\n<p>Miller said he\u2019s told Trump that he would only quit his job to work on Trump\u2019s campaign after the ex-president joins the platform, brings on millions of users and helps push the company through to a successful initial public offering. If that doesn\u2019t happen, Miller says he would expect to advise Trump\u2019s campaign in a part-time capacity.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump doesn\u2019t run, Miller predicts Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. As for DeSantis, he appears to have joined Gettr in July.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
