Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night that his team will launch a new social networking app called Truth Social, which will serve as a platform for individuals with “varied opinions” to band together “to have an amazing time and share their viewpoints of the world.” Soon after Wednesday night’s announcement, General Motors was unexpectedly pulled into the fray, with promotional photos for Truth Social showing a fake Chevy Trucks account on the app.
The promo photos, which were featured in the ‘iPhone Screenshots’ section of the social network’s Apple App Store page, show a fake ‘@ChevyTrucks’ account on the app, along with a message reading: “We’re going electric just like @elon and we’d love to know what vehicle you think we should with… our favorite is the classic Chevy Tahoe. Share & comment!”
Another screenshot from the same fake @ChevyTrucks account has a slightly stranger message, reading: “The Chevy Avalanche is the mullet of trucks, but it sure is fun at a party.”
The Washington Post reached out to GM for comment on the Chevy Trucks screenshot shortly after Truth Social went live in the App Store, with a spokesperson confirming the company has “no affiliation with this platform.”
In addition to Chevy Trucks, the promotional photos also show apparently fake Truth Social accounts for certain mainstream news publications, including Fox News, TechCrunch, The New York Times and Variety.
According to The Washington Post, reps from Truth Social said the app would be in a beta testing phase for the next few weeks before undergoing a full-scale launch in the first quarter of 2022. Some users were soon able to access an unreleased version of the app via the web, however, and registered accounts under the names of “realdonaldtrump,” and “mikepence.” The beta version of the app was later pulled from the web after the lax security protocols were revealed.

Smells like another Trump bankruptcy in the making.
Better than old senile Joey and cackling Kammie destroying the US right before our eyes!
It is possible to acknowledge that Trump is an whiny moron (to put it lightly) that has gone off the deep end, but not be happy with the current administration.
It is not, but is that CNN and their comcast comrade and Disney are. if you want to talk about winners nobody comes close to the hildabeast, though al gore comes close.
How about the Nazis that the fat man loves so much?
Nazis are nearly identical to the Democratic Party today. Gun Control, media being controlled, forcing vaccinations and having papers to even hold a job..
Come on people. Quit being so blind to it. Playing the ostrich and covering your head in the sand. It’s the party that covets government control..
There is no way Trump has ever came close to be compared to Hitler. He was the only one standing up for our freedoms that us Americans enjoyed.
Travis
You’re an Idiot!
Quit switching your name lol
Nice insult do you feel better about yourself after insulting a person you don’t know on the internet? Do you get some sense of superiority by putting others down you will never meet? You call him an idiot but yet he uses his real name you don’t so who is the idiot? Grow up stop being a child.
Lee
C’mon now, even Dumb Donald knows Democrats and Nazis are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. And If Dumb Donald calls someone an “idiot” it’s only because that person said something REALLY DUMB.
BTW Dumb Donald is a great name. So good that other people on this site are now calling themselves “Dumb Donald
So you need to name call to feel better about yourself right? Is that what you are saying? You have to insult people you don’t know and will never meet because you don’t know any other way to communicate? That’s sad I didn’t realize we had so many kids on this website now. Other people are using that name? I thought you are the one using like 4-5 different names?
Lee
You just ignored everything I said.
I didn’t ignore a thing I just saw a bunch of excuses trying to justify why you feel the need to belittle someone. But sure I’ll play along for you, yes you have every right to call that man out his name because you didn’t like what he said and you have no other words in your vocabulary. Are you sure it’s not you pretending that someone else is using that name? I mean a guy who switches his name 4 different times on one article is a little strange.
Democrats have redefined fascism. Today’s Brownshirts are Woke. Currently replaying Germany, 1938. Brandon and the train wreck in a brown wrapper with a v@gina – and all their enablers – must GO.
Nazis don’t exist anymore and you aren’t old enough to remember when they did so stop. You know nothing about the white gangs you call nazis nothing so stop talking about things you have no idea about.
I’ll take Orange Man bad with his mean tweets anyday! You may not like what he says or how he says it, but guess what, he delivered everything he promised and then some! Results are what matter, don’t care about what someone says or does!
Still waiting on the delivery…
Me to joe said things would go back to normal he lied
Get off my nuts.
I don’t get it. I don’t even remember posting it
Between being dumb and switching between 4 different names I’m sure you don’t remember.
Yea I bet you don’t. You must of got confused when you were switching between the names of patience is a virtue, Russia pays trumps business debts, why is life so unfair?, and the dumb Donald account. Why do you keep using different names? That’s weirdo stuff.
Damn brother you have used 3 different names on this one article so far lmao.
It’s more than mean tweets. They’re embarrassing and factually incorrect. I didn’t know of I was supposed to laugh (at him) or cry (that this is who we elected?). The man sounded like a 12 year old that never passed English class. Acted like one too.
Joe’s been a bit of a dud, but Trump was a clown show.
Results matter! Joe is a bit of a dud? Are you kidding me? He would have been in a home if it weren’t for the covering up of his dementia, the US is seriously horrible shape right now because of this fool!
Oh how is that massive wall you asked for? Incomplete and broken? Results.
Wait didn’t your hero and king of the idiot’s, Joe Biden stop the wall?
your tax money is building a wall around old joe’s summer home. do walls work or not ??
I’m ordering a Trump Truck with four wheel drive!
$500K in taxpayer money last I heard
Biden didn’t stop the wall. He’s just having trouble finding the Money Mexico paid to build the wall.
Joe doesn’t have dimentia. He actually suffers from stuttering and has learned to overcome most of it — quite an accomplishment. It’s perceived, of course, by the RW as dementia or mental incompetence, but it seems that they are the party of fake news these days. Everything is “spun” into hate.
ElroyH, if you truly believe that you might want to check if you’re experiencing dementia. Joe has been the epitome of a lying politician his entire useless career. If there’s one thing we learn from what America is going though right now and hopefully history will show that we HAVE to keep individuals like this out of positions of power.
Don’t worry, Biden will be gone and Kamala will be president soon enough
Not a problem because we will win the House and the Senate in 2022, Camalface Harris will be powerless and Trump will hand her and every other unpatriotic Democratic there asses. Just a matter of time.
Here is the worlds smallest 🎻 playing for you.
What did he deliver that helps me?
If your railing against Trump and stumping for Biden nothing can help you!
What has any politician delivered that has helped you Dave? Quit brown nosing these politicians clown.
^See^
Here is a 3rd Person using the “Dumb Donald” name. And when I came up with the “Dumb Donald” name I thought ya’all would never use it. Boy was I wrong.
You have used 4 different names on this one article lmao. Use one of your other 3 names see if someone will use those to. Here’s a reminder of all the names you have used so far on this one article. Russia pays trumps business debts, why is life so unfair? Patience is a virtue. Now go try those again see what happens lmao.
Where’s the wall
hhhmmmm danny boy just in the last 2 months my wife got a $3.00 an hour raise,my son a $4.00 an hour raise my youngest daughter was givin a new position and a 26% raise and our oldest daughter opening up her own business next week we got nothing from diaper rash baby trump,democrat and proud of it !!!
The only thing that will be bankrupt is this country if the POS in the white house has his way.
Speaking of bankruptcy, who better to know about it than the orange weakling, with a stout 6 losses under his ‘uuuge belt. I’m sure you also had grave concerns about “bankrupting this country” during the dictator’s tenure when he added nearly $9 Trillion in four years. That’s equivalent to having Reagan in office for 16 years worth of debt.
No? Or are we just going to overlook that little, tiny, minuscule of “oops”?
You mean the debt which more then half was due to Covid lockdowns? Is that the debt you are talking about? I’m all for the truth but when you wanna bend it your way and your way only that’s a 👎
Now result to excuses for the actions under the dictator’s tenure?
Nope I just don’t like when people say something without adding all the facts. And no I didn’t vote for trump either.
Frankie “over half the debt due to covid lock downs”
What about the other half?
Sad when some of you guys only show up to comment if it’s a political article. I don’t think this website is heading in the right direction which is sad. That’s my opinion and my opinion only. But when a bunch of goofs comment more on this political crap then actual automotive articles we have a problem.
You mean the other half that is always spent on programs and the military increases? I have seen you comment before you claim you own a family business which means I take to it you are at least 40? Don’t be stupid brother this isn’t a news forum. I said above I didn’t vote for him but I don’t like people lying saying things without all the facts.
@Ebstien’s Mother
Well it’s not complicated have you ever heard of a budget? Have you ever heard of programs and the military? If you would like a full break down you can always ask your local congressman for it I’m sure they will help you. Asking a bunch of idiots on a forum that is supposed to be about gm vehicles but they would rather discuss politics here because they have been banned from the political forums you probably won’t get your answer here thanks.
Dictator? The only US President comparable to a Dictator is the current one. The Three Stooges Biden-Harris administration clown show softens the effect.
We get it orange man bad! Anything else but that? Yeah that is what I thought! Go watch the CNN townhall with Joey the other day, look what an old senile demetia person looks like on stage, embarrassing himself and this country! Is he trying to take a poop?
So when the dictator talked nonsense, was incapable of having a proper sentence, can’t pronounce names/words, needs two hands to drink, etc…. he was perfectly capable? Got it chief.
Oh, if you had a strategic memory loss of those hilarious times, there are a plethora of vids on youtube to refresh your memory.
I think you need to check out the latest video of Joey and his fists held raised as he stood in front of Anderson Cooper on stage and looked absolutely ridiculous…again for the millionth time!
You are so ill
Can you send me the link that shows Russia paid trumps debt thanks.
Gladly, as soon as I get his post-1994 IRS documents, then I’ll pass them on to you.
Sorry sir I don’t do conspiracies I thought you had actual facts thanks. Also why do you keep changing your name lol?
You do realize that Hillary paid the Christopher Steele to get BS info from the Russians right? You do realize the person in bed with the Russians is Hillary, not President Trump right?…or does CNN still fail to cover any of the actual real info and an attempted coup on a sitting US President? You do realize Andy McCabe finally has been caught lying about all the Russia garbage?
Why even say things if you don’t have proof? What is the concept in that? How can you sit here and not like one person for supposedly lying but then turn around and do the same thing? You claim Russia this and Russia that just prove it don’t say oh I will when I get such and such if you make a statement back it up period.
Dumb Donald why do you keep changing your name?
And China pays Biden’s so what’s your point? Trump added 7 trillion in 4 years and Dodo Joe has already added 4.5 trillion and I don’t see him even pumping the brakes.
Just like how this country is bankrupt?
I could give you 28.9 trillion reasons.
In short if you spend more money than you make on a consistent basis with no plan to pay back your debt, you have a problem. And if you make the claim that you are about to default on your debt payments if you can’t increase your credit limit? Sounds like functional bankruptcy.
I knew my boy would be the first to comment on this article. 😎
As genuine as Donald himself.
Lol if a politician lips are moving that means they are lying. Just remember if you aren’t donating a lot of $ to their campaigns or you aren’t someone important then you mean nothing to them. I don’t mean this to be offensive to anyone here but I highly doubt anyone who comments on this website has that kind of money where they would matter to any politician.
I wish I could upvote you more then once. You are the first person I have ever seen on here to actually tell the truth. Normally it’s just the my side is right yours is wrong BS. It’s always been weird to me how people can praise and worship these politicians who wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.
Let’s go Brandon!
Why don’t you just say what the real chant is instead of the fake nbc “damage control’ version?
Excuse me I don’t mean to be rude, but tonight I’m Fking you.
For full song see: Enrique Englesias Tonight (explicit lyrics)
selling gold, guns and bomb shelters should do well on this app.
Steve
Free advertising, with the app. making the ads for you. I don’t see how the advertisers could lose money.
Lol this is ridiculous that anyone would believe this. First off go to any social media platform and they are littered with chevy trucks or ford this or ram that accounts do you actually think any of those are the real manufacture lol. There is reason the real account have a blue check mark. Some people are so stupid. I hope gm issues a statement on the 23 account I just saw on Instagram that are named GMC Sierra ect…
Finally someone who actually says what the real chant is. Idk why people say the fake “damage control” nbc version.
The Book of Revelations is playing out before us right now. Enjoy!
And Btw, who gives a s**t about anything the bias bulls**t Washington Post has to say. I wouldn’t wipe my ass with that trash. I can tell you this, when intelligence is back in charge of this country (and it will be) GM sure better be on board. #Marybarrahastogo!
There is no way GM would advertise on Trump’s social media site. He tried to fix the trade mess with Mary’s mentor (President XI) and favorite country (China). I’m sure that pissed her off.
mary needs EVs to get the greens to buy GM stock so she is a biden fan not trump. profits pay the bills and stock pays for future development
Silent majority? They’ve always been the loud minority. Ignore the ignorance.
You only think life is unfair because you are broke and have no money. Get a better job broke boy.
Wonder if the writer of this article forgot this is a site we come to read about innovations and vehicles. Obviously from the content, it seems he confused this site with CNN. Guys, please stick to the topics we come here to read, which is about vehicles. If I want political hack commentaries, there are plenty of other options.
Exactly right. You can tell a few of these guys got so happy they could talk about trump finally without getting jumped on they got a hard on.
Exactly
Politics 🤢🤮 why even write about this nonsense? There is already enough goofs on here that wanna constantly talk politics GMA please don’t feed them.
@Shawn, totally agree. The author of this article obviously wanted to use this platform to spew garbage. Maybe he should do some research on the impact of the ridiculous rise of gas prices and how it will impact GM sales of their larger vehicles. Filling up a Yukon XL will make one think about not owning a large vehicle if you don’t REALLY need to, but I really feel bad for all those out there that have no option and need to have large vehicles and are now paying a fortune. The gas price topic has a direct impact on consumer decisions, along with higher prices for the vehicles and overall ownership. But the gas price topic would go against his talking points, which again, is clear from his article.
Hey Sam McEachern, one can claim This GMA is a fake GM site, especially with the name used which makes people think this is run by GM. But obviously it has no affiliation with GM, as stated in the disclaimer on this site. It doesn’t matter to me, but wanted to point out that you are being a hypocrite. I like the news and articles that are relevant for what we come here to read, and it is annoying to see people like you trying to incite your readers. Disappointing.
TODAY COMMUNIST BEST FRIEND LIVES IN THE WHITE HOUSE JUST LOOK AT HIS WORK IN AFGANISTAN
Because a Communist State that’s Killing It’s muslims (a.k.a China) really wants a rogue Muslim terrorist state on its western border.
Comrade Trump had his head so far up Putin’s rear it’s embarrassing.
Explains the Orange color.
Peter G, how old are you? Grow up.
Creepy Joe has his head so far up Chinas rear it’s embarrassing. Fixed it for you!
Steve you obviously have your head up your own ass with that ignorant comment.
Yeah I cannot see any fortune 500 company willing to put their brand name in association with this guy. He has proven to be a disaster to any and pretty much everyone who has a relationship with him or his policies. Can you imagine the falling of companies like Coca Cola or Delta and such who would stick their nose out there like that? Stocks would plummet to unrecoverable limits in record time. Fake news can be easy to spot sometimes.
That’s President of the United States Joe Biden. #4MoreIn24
I thought he wasn’t running in 24?
LMAO, that gezzer won’t even make it to the end of the first term.
That’s the laughingstock of the world, Joke Biden. #4MoretoCivilWar
people fell for old joes $15 hour minimum wage but what is going to happen is all the people crossing our southern border are going to be getting all the jobs and working for less than $ 15.
I love kids jumping in my lap
Trump got the name for his site wrong. It should be Pravda Social. He could have special guest stars like his buddy Putin.
You seething leftists and your lunatic, misguided Russia obsession. Y’all wear your mental instability on your sleeve.
Walt either come up with something new or finally show some evidence of these 2 great friends thanks.
there are a lot of posters here who must not work for a living and pay bills to think they are better off now than under trump.
You do not think Gm is a US Company as it is funded by China with plants in Mexico and China? so what is a fake add?
THIS thread explains EXACTLY why we have a stumbling bumbling “Commander in Chief” that doesnt know what friggin day it is & a bus load of “diverse” incompetent communists calling themselves “Progressives” actually running this country off an economic, social, cultural & historical cliff.
You done hit that nail squarely on the head. The “Progressive” lunatics are now running the asylum.
