In 2022, then-former and now again U.S. President Donald Trump launched an alternative social media platform called Truth Social. Alongside it, there’s a streaming service called Truth+—now available in Germany.
The battle for control over narratives in various social and political areas is fiercely fought online, increasingly dividing society. Different factions tirelessly accuse each other of lying, spreading propaganda, or censorship, each claiming the truth for themselves. In this heated debate climate, Truth Social launched in early 2022, with significant involvement from U.S. President Donald Trump. Recently, the streaming service Truth+ has also become available in Germany.
Truth+ Launched in German
As reported by sources such as “Digital Fernsehen,” Truth+ is now available in German-speaking regions, a year after its U.S. launch. The app is available for both Android and iOS in the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. In the long term, users of Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, and LG and Samsung TVs will also be able to use Truth+.
Thematically, the content on Truth+ is intended to align with the public presence that Truth Social aims to amplify as a social media platform. The app description mentions “news you can trust” and “entertainment that Big Media wanted to blacklist.” According to “GlobalNewsWire,” it will include content focused on Christian and family-friendly themes.

What Users Can Expect
While the Truth+ platform is still relatively new, the app description already hints at the content direction, which will align with its social media counterpart. Back then, Donald Trump responded with his own social network after being banned from Facebook and Twitter (now X) due to the storming of the U.S. Capitol by his supporters and his problematic reaction to it.
At the time, the former and current U.S. President accused platforms like Twitter of not allowing free speech and aimed to provide it to all users with Truth Social. However, whether it truly adheres to the truth has been strongly questioned multiple times. In 2024, for instance, the “Los Angeles Times” wrote that “madness and misinformation” were largely spread without resistance on Truth Social.
This is attributed to the fact that, apart from Trump supporters, hardly anyone else uses the platform. “Der Standard” noted that the environment there, besides many falsehoods, is primarily characterized by anger. “Reactionaries” indulge in their “hatred of liberals,” it says. Since Truth+ is linked to Truth Social, the content is likely to follow the same Republican direction. Interested parties should be aware of what they are getting into.
