Trump media group on Tuesday announced it is negotiating with Canadian online video platform Rumble to provide a stage for a subscription on-demand video service.<\/p>\n

The organization headed by former US president Donald Trump said that it has already inked a deal to have the specialty firm, which is popular with political conservatives, provide “wide-ranging technology<\/a> and cloud services.”<\/p>\n

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has launched a “Truth Social” online platform for invited guests using Rumble, according to a release.<\/p>\n

“I have selected the Rumble Cloud to serve as a critical backbone for TMTG infrastructure,” Trump said in the release.<\/p>\n

The 75-year-old was thrown off Twitter\u2014his preferred communications conduit while president\u2014as well as Facebook and YouTube after the January 6 insurrection in which a mob of Trump supporters, riled up by his repeated false claims that the November 2020 election was stolen from him, assaulted the US Capitol.<\/p>\n

Rumble will handle streaming video online for Truth Social, and talks are taking place to have the firm use its technology for an on-demand, subscription video product called TMTG+, according to the release.<\/p>\n

US regulators are scrutinizing a deal between Trump’s fledgling social media company and an investment vehicle to bring the former president’s venture to the stock market, documents showed last week. <\/p>\n

The companies, once merged, say they plan to launch the social media platform “TRUTH Social” nationally early next year, hoping to rival services like Twitter.<\/p>\n

Digital World Acquisition Corp, already listed on Wall Street, announced in late October it would merge with TMTG, allowing the ex-president’s venture to be listed without the usual procedures.<\/p>\n

Digital World is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), sometimes called a “blank check” company because it is set up with the sole purpose of merging with another entity.<\/p>\n

Trump says the new platform will be an alternative to Silicon Valley internet companies that he says are biased against him and other conservative voices.<\/p>\n

Currently available for pre-order on the App Store, it’s expected launch is set for the first quarter of 2022.\n <\/p>\n\n
